Another Michael Jordan game-used uniform has hit the auction block with a pre-sale estimate in the millions.
Heritage is selling a jersey and shorts worn by Jordan during the 1992-93 season, as well as on the cover of Sports Illustrated in October 1993 that announced his first retirement. The lot has an estimate of $2 million and up.
The red road jersey has been matched to a remarkable 17 games during the season and is said to be the only jersey matched to any games from the Bulls first three-peat (1991-93).
Later in Jordan’s career, especially in 1998, he began wearing more jerseys as their value became more recognized, with each featuring fewer games of wear— in stark contrast to gamers from earlier years that were worn for extended periods of time.

In November 2024, MeiGray said in its history it had authenticated 25 game-worn Jordan jerseys from the 1997-98 season, with 20 of those being used in just a single game. The authenticator also said, at the time, it had examined 130 jerseys said to be worn by Jordan from the seasons prior to 1997-98, but had only found four to be authentic.
Last November, a 1996-97 jersey matched to 17 games — the same number as the jersey at Heritage — and described as “the most extensively worn Michael Jordan Bulls game-worn jersey ever submitted to MeiGray Authenticated,” including “The Crossover” game, sold for $4.68 million.
The jersey worn by Jordan in his NBA preseason debut sold last month for $4.2 million.
