90's Michael Jordan "45" White Jersey

On March 18, 1995 Michael Jordan returned to the Chicago Bulls, announcing the comeback with the two-word fax "I'm back" and wearing the number 45 — his minor-league baseball number — rather than the retired 23 for the remainder of that season and the 1995 playoffs. Champion produced the official NBA jersey program through the decade, and the Jordan "45" captures the specific sliver of time between the first retirement and the full return to 23 (he switched back during the 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals against Orlando). The white home jersey runs the Champion authentic construction in nylon/polyester mesh: "JORDAN 45" screen-printed to the back in red and black, Chicago Bulls wordmark across the chest, and NBA logo at the collar. Original 1995 Jordan 45 jerseys sit among the most historically specific pieces in the vintage Champion NBA jersey market — the moment itself only ran for a handful of games.
