I can't say for 100% certainty but, I doubt it. I would look for something in the 50 or 52 area. Some 6"10" centers don't wear a jersey that big.

I agree...sounds way off. To compare, as a Laker, Shaq often took a 58 or 60, and Vince Carter is no Big Aristotle in terms of bulk.

I don't have year-by-year sizes, but I'm comfortable saying that he never wore a 58+6. If he were to wear a jersey that size, it would probably hang out the bottom of his shorts.

His rookie year (Dino style), I know he wore 48 & 50 (not sure on the +length), and then for the first few years with the newer style he was wearing a 52+2.

Re: Vince Carter Game Used Jersey Question

reason i asked is because i bought a game worn vc jersey from the raptors foundation several years back and thought the same thing about how it would be too big for him...

but i just found this...although my jersey is a home jersey.. but i guess this gives me hope that mines is actually GU? lol

Re: Vince Carter Game Used Jersey Question

Is that a jersey or a dress Vince is wearing? Having gotten the jersey from the Raptors foundation and finding the picture I would feel pretty comfortable about your jersey.

Of the 2002-03 era, 56+6 was common sizing for Vince Carter. So 58+6 is a very possible size variation as your picture shows. For a few years during this period, the Raptors organization also included Game Worn and Team Issued patches on the inside tail of select jerseys and shorts.

Re: Vince Carter Game Used Jersey Question

Can anyone confirm that Vince commonly wore 52+2, as opposed to 52+4, in 2000-2001?

Thanks in advance

My Carter jersey from 2003-04 is a size 58+6 and was purchased directly from the team and is photo matched.
