This is a showcase of a golden era in NCAA basketball jerseys, the mid to late 1990's when Nike was beginning to outfit teams. Tagging characteristics of this line is that they are made in the USA, with a Team Nike patch sewn on front near the bottom, and the first edition style grey Team Nike tagging in the neck (for retail authentics-game authentics didn't always seem to have the neck tagging, see the two jerseys at the bottom). Below each of the small pictures will open up more larger pics of the jersey you clicked on. By the way, yes, I know there are more teams/players that need to be added, I have more to add in my collection, so please stay tuned. Also, if you have a jersey that isn't included in this that should be, please submit it, and I will include it in this section.

First jersey is the style with sublimated side panels, sewn on seam trim where the panels meet, and sewn on tackle twill lettering and numbering. Second one is a bit more mysterious. It has screened on lettering and numbering, with a doublemesh front and thick sewn on neck trim. Third one is an Alonzo jersey, with the unique teeny name lettering on back.

First jersey is the maize version of the famed Fab 5 Michigan squad. Second is of course the navy blue. The jerseys both feature two layer tackle twill lettering, with white as the outline color.


The first three Carolina jerseys are all generally the same construction, with sewn on seam trim, and argyle side panels. The Ed Cota and Rasheed Wallace are both single layer heavyweight mesh, while the Jerry Stackhouse has a doublemesh front. The Jordan retro is in the old plainer early 80's style, with all tackle twill lettering/numbering.

A couple authentics here. First is a Sunday Adebayo jersey, who played with the Razorbacks in the 1996-97 and 1997-98 campaigns. Seems to have been manufactured by Powers for Nike, I've included some in-depth picturing to compare. All tackle twill numbering/lettering.

The Cal jersey has the special heat lettered style tag on the inside, with all tackle twill numbering/lettering and doublemesh front.


The UNLV shorts feature fully sewn Rebel on the sides and reflective seam piping. Michigan is the classic Fab 5 look with the big tackle twill M sewn on the sides. The UNC shorts have the argyle side panels and sewn Tarheel on the waist. The Syracuse shorts have sewn Syracuse basketball logos on the sides and on the waist. Michigan and UNLV use thick dazzle style fabric, UNC uses a doublemesh fabric that's the same as used on their game jerseys, and Syracuse uses a finer doublemesh, like their jerseys as well.
