Kobe Bryant Jersey Information

[DConLA]

Hello Kobe Fans,

I just acquired one of those Kobe factory team issued jerseys from this year with the 60th patch for research purposes only. I posted three pictures below of this jersey and just based off looking at these pictures I can see at least 7 things that are wrong in comparison with a real 07-08 Kobe Bryant game worn jersey that is assembled in Los Angeles. Now that’s just looking at the outside front and back of the jersey. On the inside I can even find more things that are not right. Since I no longer need this jersey I am going to list this jersey on eBay just like I did with the 06-07 Kobe factory jersey that I bought for research purposes. I will post the link as soon as I put the jersey up on eBay. Now if anybody needs help before or after buying a Kobe 07-08 60th jersey please let me know.

I've enjoyed and appreciated this thread for a while. I thought I would bring it back from the dead to see if anyone has info on legit 08-09 Kobe game jerseys.

I thought it would be a good idea to bring this thread back up. There are two 2004-05 Alternative Kobe game jersey's size 50+4 on E-bay. According to Dan, Kobe never wore that size with Reebok. I hope Dan can chime in once again and give us collectors more laker and kobe info.

Hello Kobe & Lakers fans,

As far as the 04-05 Kobe size 50’s are concerned here is the info on what Kobe wore during 2004-05. The pictures I added are to support the following information (1st pic of KB size 56 tag & 2nd pic of pre-season KB wearing a 58).

2004-05 (Reebok)

Kobe Wore size 56 and a couple size 54 in the old throwback tank top style.
First Reebok jerseys (pre-season) were size 58. The Lakers only wore one home gold uniform throughout the pre-season. Once the pre-season was completed and the rosters were set Kobe began to wear size 56. Once again we have come across a lot of size 50 Reebok factory issued Kobe jerseys from this year that when closely examined it is very easy to tell the difference between a real Kobe game jersey that is assembled in Los Angeles (Name & Number) from the factory team issued jerseys.


Kobe Bryant never wore size 50 while wearing Reebok. The Lakers also wore powder blue uniforms for a total of five throwback games. Photo evidence is available of Kobe wearing size 56. Again I hope this info helps as I am hear just to share.

are game used Lakers jerseys supposed to have an additional tag in the inside indicating where it was made/wash instructions (much like with football and baseball game jerseys)?

I received this email, too. Please excuse my ignorance, but who is Doug Friedman?

He had a number of hoops jerseys up for auction in a previous GFC auction. Maybe last fall...HOF auction?

That's all I got.

I would love to get my hands on a purple away full uniform one day. Dan, did any of those three come from you?
