Gary Payton Jersey Appraisal

Adidas Soul Swingman Gary Payton Seattle SuperSonics Jersey

This is a Seattle SuperSonics 'Hardwood Classics' Soul Swingman basketball jersey manufactured by Adidas, replicating the team's iconic 1970s and 1980s aesthetic. The garment is constructed from a green mesh polyester fabric, featuring the classic emerald green, white, and yellow/gold color palette. It showcases a prominent arched white chest stripe with the word 'SONICS' in green heat-applied or stitched lettering. Directly below the stripe is the player number '20' in yellow with white bordering, associated with Hall of Fame point guard Gary Payton. The jersey features striped rib-knit trim along the collar and armholes in yellow and white. Notable branding includes the Adidas Trefoil logo embroidered on the right chest, the NBA Logoman on the left chest, and an Adidas Hardwood Classics jock tag at the lower left hem indicating size L. The condition appears well-preserved with vibrant colors, though there are minor visible wrinkles and slight creasing on the applied numbers, consistent with light wear or long-term storage. The construction reflects the higher quality of the Soul Swingman series, which utilizes heavier knit materials compared to standard modern replica jerseys.
