Gary Payton jersey photomatch?
Hey guys I just acquired this Gary Payton jersey a couple of days ago. I was initially was cautious with it because I noticed it was missing the 9/11 unity patch that all teams wore during the 2001-02 season and simply because its hard to tell which stars' jerseys are actually game worn or not. I saw that it did however have the writing on the tag that I've seen on other sonics reebok gamers (common players). Maybe it was worn the next season? Well after losing out on an item I really wanted from the past Leland's auction, I thought this jersey might be a decent consolation prize so I pulled the trigger.
You can see the outline of where the 9/11 unity patch originally was but it was removed for some reason (maybe reused for 2002-03 preseason?). I immediately jumped onto getty and think I found a successful photomatch! The photo is from the game 4 of the 1st round of the playoffs against the Spurs. I think I've also found other matches to regular season games but this pic was the best. Looks like most of the loose threads match as well as the sonics logo patch on the collar being a little off center. Sorry about the poor quality but it costs too much to get a better resolution version.
So what do you guys think? Would you say its a match? Also what do you guys think about restoring the missing 9/11 patch? I'm leaning towards restoring it. Thanks for your time.
