I was happy reacquiring this jersey last year because I had to purge the made in USA version I got back in early 2003 due to it being cut too big which was a common flaw plaguing made in USA jerseys from the 2000s.
It was disappointing to learn that Mitchell & Ness f'd up by using the wrong font style on this jersey. A gentleman on here inadvertently helped me realize the discrepancy by posting a picture of an actual game jersey that was hanging in this Lakers fan's garage he turned into a museum. The Mitchell & Ness version didn't have the same font style like the one in that man's museum.
I admit I thought he had a fake jersey because the one he had differed from the retail version when I saw that picture. Then some other peeps on here convinced me he always gets legitimate items no matter what. That's how I learned the retail version was inaccurate. I appreciate all the peeps who chimed in that they f'd up with this one.
It was good when I reacquired it until I learned the wrong font style was used. Too bad they'll never rectify it either. At least I got something useful for it.
