Nike Basketball Appraisal

USA Basketball Team Jersey - Nike #7

This is a white Nike USA Basketball team jersey, likely an 'away' or alternate colorway. The jersey's primary color is white, featuring a V-neck collar with a dark blue (possibly navy) trim. The armholes also appear to have a similar dark blue trim. On the front, prominently displayed in large, block lettering, are the words 'USA' in red with a dark blue outline, situated above 'BASKETBALL' in dark blue block letters. Below 'BASKETBALL', a large red number '7' is centered. A notable design element is a stylized star integrated into the 'A' of 'BASKETBALL', which is split into red and dark blue halves. The iconic Nike 'swoosh' logo is embroidered in black on the upper right chest area. On the upper left chest, there is a gold square patch with what appears to be a stylized 'CBA' or similar sport organization logo, possibly indicating a league or event affiliation, although it is difficult to discern precisely from the image. Along the sides of the jersey, from the armpit down to the hem, there are vertical stripes composed of dark blue outlines with a red stripe down the center. The fabric appears to be a polyester or similar synthetic blend, common for athletic wear, designed for breathability and moisture-wicking. The construction shows clean stitching, indicative of standard athletic apparel quality. On the lower front left hem, there is a woven label, likely a jock tag, which includes the Nike logo, a size indicator ('L' for Large is visible), and potentially other manufacturing details or authenticity information, though they are not fully legible. The jersey appears to be in excellent, well-preserved condition with no visible signs of significant wear, tears, stains, or damage, suggesting minimal use or careful handling. The colors are vibrant and there is no apparent fading or cracking on the printed or embroidered elements. Given the style and visible logos, it likely dates from the 2000s to 2010s, consistent with modern basketball jersey designs.
