Michael Jordan’s Washington Wizards Jerseys: A Collector’s Dream
A Legendary Career and Iconic Jerseys
Michael Jordan, a name synonymous with basketball greatness, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame twice, first in 2009 for his unparalleled individual career and again in 2010 as a member of the legendary 1992 United States Men’s Olympic Basketball “Dream Team.” His time with the Washington Wizards, though brief, was marked by memorable performances and iconic jerseys that continue to captivate collectors and fans alike.
Details of the Road Jersey
The road jersey, a testament to Jordan’s enduring legacy, features the Nike manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, marked as size “50.” A flag tag below reads, “LENGTH + 4,” indicating the custom fit tailored for the basketball legend. The left inseam houses a materials tag with washing instructions and a Nike “2002-03” year tag, ensuring authenticity. The upper left chest proudly displays the official “NBA” logo, embroidered with precision.
Across the chest, the jersey reads “WIZARDS,” with the player number “23” emblazoned below and on the back, all crafted in white on copper and black triple tackle twill. Above the number on the back, the revered name “JORDAN” is displayed in white on copper tackle twill, a hallmark of his time with the Wizards.
The Home Jersey: A Tribute to Resilience
The home jersey mirrors the road jersey in its measurements and tagging, with a notable difference in the flag tag, which reads “2001-02.” This jersey is adorned with a 9/11 memorial ribbon and an American flag embroidered on the upper right chest, a poignant tribute to resilience and unity.
