Description: ***UPDATED DESCRIPTION*** Rare Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls game worn uniform c.1996-97. Red mesh jersey retains its original "Bulls" team name across the front above #23 with the gold NBA logo patch sewn into the top left shoulder area. The back of the jersey features "Jordan" lettering above #23 both in black on white color design. Champion manufacturer's tagging is affixed to the tail front with size 46 indicated along with "Designed & Tailored Exclusively for Chicago Bulls" tagging with +3 body length and "96/97" year designation. Body fabric tagging and additional 3" Extra Body Length tagging are found inside the tail front. The jersey exhibits light general use and wash wear remaining in original unaltered condition. Signed across the reverse, "Michael Jordan 1996-97 Chicago Bulls". Matching shorts retain their original interior tagging inclusive of Champion manufacturer's label along with "Designed & Tailored Exclusively for Chicago Bulls" tagging with +2 Rise and +2 Inseam notation. Small period "23" is written in black marker on the Champion label indicative of Jordan's uniform number. Frankly stated, with the exception of Babe Ruth (with note to the time period in which he played), no other athlete has literally altered a sport as Michael Jordan has. With a truly unique combination of natural skill, raw talent, flare for the dramatic, and brutally tireless pursuit of perfection, Michael Jordan single handedly revolutionized the game of basketball. Jordan's career achievements are virtually unending including five regular-season MVPs (tied for second place with Bill Russell; only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has won more at six), six Finals MVPs (NBA record), and three All-Star MVPs. Jordan finished among the top three in regular-season MVP voting a record 10 times, and was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996. Documented game worn Michael Jordan jerseys are among the most desired of any significant sports related artifacts. The offered uniform ranks among the finest ever made available given its unimpeachable original team provenance. Includes COA from Upper Deck Authenticated and letter of provenance from the Chicago Bulls: EX-MT. ***Please note, the offered item will be signed by Michael Jordan the first week in April through the Upper Deck Authenticated program. Please check the website for updated photographs.
