Larry Steele’s Portland Trailblazers Jersey: A Piece of NBA History

An Iconic Legacy

Larry Steele, a revered figure in the annals of basketball history, etched his name in the hearts of fans with his remarkable contributions to the Portland Trailblazers. Celebrated for his pivotal role in securing the NBA Championship for the team, Steele’s legacy is immortalized with the retirement of his number “15” jersey by the Trailblazers. This jersey is not just a piece of fabric; it is a testament to Steele’s enduring impact on the game.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Design

The jersey in question is a masterful creation, featuring the “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag on the left front tail, complete with wash instructions and a jersey size of “42”. Above this, a second “Sand-Knit” tag proudly declares, “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Portland Trailblazers”. The front of the jersey is adorned with “Portland”, while the player number “15” graces both the front and back, all crafted in white on black tackle twill. The player name “STEELE” is elegantly displayed across the back in white tackle twill, bordered by black embroidery.

A Signature of Authenticity

Adding to the jersey’s allure, Larry Steele has personally signed the front twill in black marker, with the signature rating a 7. This autograph not only enhances the jersey’s value but also serves as a personal connection to the legendary player himself. The accompanying matching shorts, featuring the same “Sand-Knit” tags and a size of “36”, bear the number “30” in black marker, reflecting the common practice of interchangeable shorts during that era. The left leg proudly displays the team embroidered patch.
