Champion Gold jerseys ...

From 1991-1992 through the 1996-97 season Champion was the sole owner of the uniform licensing for the NBA. Champion was the sole licensee who could make authentic replica and original jerseys. Beginning in 1997-1998 it was the time that the NBA split the uniform licensing between Champion, Nike and Starter. While adidas nhl jersey authentic vs replica was unable to produce jerseys authentic to any of the 19 teams, Nike and Starter still were the holders of the license. In the meantime, replica jerseys could be created for every team. Replica jerseys fueled NBA merchandise sales through the late 90s, largely because of strong draft classes during 1993 (Chris Webber, Anfernee Hardaway, Jamal Mashburn) and the 1994 season (Glenn Robinson, Jason Kidd, Grant Hill). Also that, the Jordan-led Bulls have dominated sales of their merchandise at the beginning of the 1990s, however, during the 1994-1995 seasons, they were outsold by the Charlotte Hornets, led by Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning.
