notes: label: Description
content: This gray short-sleeved, V-neck jersey for the NBA Brooklyn Nets was worn by Jason Collins and signed by his teammates from the 2013-2014 roster. The jersey is made from silvery grey polyester with perforated patterns for breathability throughout the fabric. The neck opening is trimmed in blue polyester fabric with a thin white stripe. Stripes of blue polyester fabric run down each side from the underarm to the hem. There is a 4 1/2-inch long vent at each front side. Patches of blue fabric are sewn across the center front chest of the jersey reading "BROOKLYN / 98". An NBA logo patch is adhered to the jersey at the proper left shoulder between the neck and the sleeve. Two manufacturer's labels are sewn at the proper left front just above the hem. Both labels contain the NBA logo and the one on the proper left side also contains the Adidas logo. On the back of the jersey just below the neck is a circular white patch with black embroidered lines like a basketball and a large letter "B" in the center, which is the Brooklyn Nets logo. Across the center back shoulders are patches of blue fabric sewn to the shirt reading "COLLINS / 98". Surrounding the blue patches are the signatures of the 2013-2014 Brooklyn Nets team in black ink. Jason Collins signed the jersey in silver ink inside the number "9" patch. The jersey is not lined. There is a size tag at the interior center back neck and a style, size, fiber content, and care tag sewn into the proper left side seam near the hem.
