2008-09 Seattle Sonics?

[sox83cubs84]

Since 2008-09 was the inaugural season of the Oklahoma City Thunder (the identity of the former Seattle Sonics), how does there exist a game-used 2008-09 SONICS jersey? There's no Hardwood Classics tagging, so it doesn't appear to be a throwback. Were there Sonics 2008-09 jerseys issued BEFORE they bolted for OKC? I'm curious.

Maybe a game issued jersey?

I guess that's possible, but it seems odd to prepare jerseys for a team that didn't exist well before the NBA season started.

They are indeed legit. The jerseys were made to prepare for an 08-09 season in Seattle. I've also seen pics of player cut (Seattle) Westbrook jerseys.
