rson's ran this advertisement on December 3, 1996, to highlight Champion's retro collection of NBA 50th Anniversary jerseys. The ad showcases an exclusive Limited Edition Pro Cut Michael Jordan 50th Anniversary Commemorative Rookie jersey. The jersey was the first Champion is being released as part that of the NBA 50th anniversary celebration. The jersey, which was limited edition, came out in only available in 200 pieces. be obtained through Carsons. It is widely regarded as to be the "Holy Gril of Jordan jerseys." Through replica jerseys of collecting, I have only witnessed two Ebay auctions.
The photo of the jersey in the ad is actually not the exact size Champion produced. The jock's tag that appears in the ad reads 46. It was Jordan's usual size for most of his career, a Size 46 and Body Length +3. Jordan began his first season wearing size 42. He later he changed size to 44 once his body length +4 was complete.
