NBA Finals jerseys

[yankees24]

Will the Lakers and Magic NBA Finals jerseys be auctioned off again this year? Also, does anyone know if teams are issued brand new jerseys for the Finals or will they continue to use the same ones throughout the other playoff rounds with the Finals trophy patch now affixed on?

Hi Yankees24,

Thanks for the question.

The NBA and MeiGray Game-Worn Authentication Program will be tagging new jerseys for the Magic and Lakers for Games 1 and 3, and will be offering these jerseys via auction.

NBA & MGG will be on hand collecting these jerseys immediately after Game 1 at Staples Center and Game 3 at Amway Arena.

The Game 1 auction (Lakers home, Magic road) will begin at tipoff of Game 1 Thursday night.

Regards,
Barry

Hi Barry, I had a quick question for you. For the jerseys being auctioned, does that include bench players to? I am a HUGE JJ Redick fan, and I am about 100% sure he wont see any playing time in either of those games but would still love the chance to bid on his jersey. Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Barry could you elaborate if these jerseys will only be worn for Games 1 and 3? If so, what about those used for Games 2,4 and if necessary 5, 6, and 7? Thanks.

Hi guys,

Yes, we will be tagging jerseys for all 15 players on the rosters. So this set will include three game-issued jerseys, for guys who are not dressed, and they could include players who were dressed, but DNP (coach's decision).

The jerseys worn in games other than 1 and 3 will remain property of the teams.

Hope this helps,
Barry

Barry-

Do you happen to know how many total sets of home and road jerseys will be worn by each team? Is a new set used for each game?

Thanks.

Hi Howard,

We do not know yet. But we hope to have that info by the time the series ends.

Hi Barry, is it possible that the Lakers and Magic would wear the same jerseys they've been using throughout the playoffs for Games 2, 4,and if necessary 5, 6 and 7?

[BarryMeisel]

Yes, I would imagine that is possible.

We'll know more once the Finals begin.
