A Glimpse into Basketball History
Step into the world of basketball legends with these remarkable jerseys from the 1995-96 Orlando Magic season. These jerseys are not just pieces of fabric; they are a testament to the prowess and charisma of two of the NBA’s most celebrated players: Penny Hardaway and Shaquille O’Neal. Each jersey tells a story of triumph and excellence, capturing the essence of a golden era in basketball.
Penny Hardaway’s Jersey
The front left tail of Hardaway’s jersey features a “Champion” manufacturer’s tag, proudly stating “DESIGNED & TAILORED 95-96 EXCLUSIVELY FOR ORLANDO MAGIC BODY LENGTH +4”. Adjacent to this is another “Champion” size “50” tag with washing instructions, ensuring authenticity and care. The left inseam reveals a tag that reads “100% POLYESTER”, a testament to the quality and durability of this garment.
On the front left chest, the official “NBA” logo is embroidered, symbolizing the league’s endorsement. Across the chest, “Orlando” is sublimated in white with blue trim, with a star stitched in silver replacing the “a”. The player number “1” is prominently displayed on both the front and back in blue on white tackle twill. Across the back, the player name “HARDAWAY” is sewn directly onto the black mesh jersey in white tackle twill.
Shaquille O’Neal’s Jersey
Similarly, O’Neal’s jersey bears the “Champion” manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, reading “DESIGNED & TAILORED 95-96 EXCLUSIVELY FOR ORLANDO MAGIC BODY LENGTH +4”. Adjacent is a “Champion” size “54” tag with washing instructions. The left inseam tag reads “100% POLYESTER”, ensuring the same high-quality craftsmanship.
The front left chest features the official “NBA” logo, while “Magic” is sublimated across the chest in blue with grey trim, with two stars stitched in silver replacing the “a” and atop the “i”. The player number “32” is displayed on both the front and back in black on blue tackle twill. Across the back, the player name “O’NEAL” is sewn directly onto the white mesh jersey in blue tackle twill. O’Neal’s signature graces the jersey below the front player number “32” in black marker, rated a 7 in our opinion.
