Basketball Jersey Appraisal

Cleveland Cavaliers #23 Adidas NBA Basketball Jersey

This is a dark navy blue (possibly indigo or deep royal blue) basketball jersey, likely made from a breathable, synthetic mesh fabric common for sports apparel. The jersey features 'CLEVELAND' prominently displayed across the chest in large, arched, cream-colored block lettering with a gold-colored outline, creating a three-dimensional effect. Beneath 'CLEVELAND' is the number '23', also in cream with a gold outline, indicating it's a team jersey, most likely for a specific player known by that number. The neckline is a V-neck, with the front of the V-neck being red with a cream-colored 'C' logo, outlined in white, consistent with the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team branding. The shoulders and collar trim appear to be a lighter, beige or tan color, possibly to match the lettering. On the upper left chest, an 'adidas' logo is visible in gold, indicating the manufacturer. On the upper right chest, there is a small NBA logo, confirming its association with the National Basketball Association. The fabric shows a distinct mesh pattern, designed for ventilation. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious tears, significant stains, or major wear visible from the image. The colors are vibrant and the stitching holding the letters and numbers in place seems intact. This item likely dates from the period when Adidas was the official uniform supplier for the NBA, which was from the 2006-07 season through the 2016-17 season. Given the '23' and 'Cleveland' designation, this jersey is highly likely associated with LeBron James during his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
