After coming out of retirement for the first time in March of 1995, Michael Jordan was unable to immediately re-capture the magic that had previously led to 3 straight NBA titles, and the Bulls were unceremoniously dumped from the 1995 playoffs by Orlando. The 17 regular season games and 10 playoffs games must have been enough for MJ to find his game, however, as he would lead the Bulls to NBA titles in each of the next 3 seasons, a remarkable 2nd three-peat for the Windy City. Jordan announced his 2nd retirement following this, his 6th NBA Title, and while he would come back one more time to play for the Washington Wizards, 1998 would mark his final post-season appearance. The white mesh jersey has "BULLS" and Jordan's famous number "23" on the front in red-on-black tackle twill, while the back features “JORDAN” and “23” in matching style. White, black and red ribbing caps off each arm and neck opening. The Nike manufacturer’s tag, size 50, is found on the left front tail with a "LENGTH +4" tailoring tag and Chicago Bulls tagging affixed. An NBA logo patch is affixed to the upper left chest, while an NBA Finals patch adorns the right chest. The jersey shows light game use, with some dirt smudges spread across the front, and the jersey comes graded an A5 by MEARS.
