A Piece of NBA History

This jersey is not just a garment; it is a testament to Baker’s prowess on the court and a symbol of a memorable era in the NBA.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Design

The front left tail of the jersey proudly displays the Champion manufacturer’s tag, size “52,” complete with washing instructions and an attached flag tag reading “+6 LENGTH.” Adjacent to this is another Champion tag, which reads “DESIGNED & TAILORED BY CHAMPION EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE SEATTLE SONICS 1998-99.” This meticulous attention to detail underscores the exclusivity of this piece.

On the top right chest, the official NBA logo is prominently featured, adding an authentic touch to this historic jersey. Across the chest, “SONICS” is emblazoned in white on gold tackle twill, with a gold basketball and green trim at the center, creating a striking visual impact. Below this, the number “42” is rendered in white on gold and maroon tackle twill, a nod to Baker’s formidable presence on the court.

Personalized and Signed by Vin Baker

Across the back of the jersey, “BAKER” and the number “42” are both displayed in white on gold and maroon tackle twill, further personalizing this unique artifact.
