As a one-and-done diaper dandy at the University of Oklahoma, Trae
Young personified the new wave of offensive-minded point guards inspired
by Steph Curry that shoot with no conscience and are always looking to
push the pace. As a freshman the Sooners' 6’ 2” floor general became the
first player in NCAA history to lead the nation in both points and
assists (total and per game). Now the Atlanta Hawks rookie
extraordinaire has his sights set on NBA’s Rookie of the Year and he’s
off to a torrid start, averaging almost 17 points and 8.3 assists per
game in his 2018-19 debut season. With unlimited range and a fitting first name, the sky's the limit for this young cat.
Presented here are two full uniforms Trae wore in prep tournaments during his high school years before stepping on the OU campus for his lone season of college ball. The first is his AAU squad, Mokan Elite (Missouri), with whom he starred alongside fellow prep star Michael Porter, Jr. It dates to his junior and senior seasons of high school (2016-17). The
gray Nike mesh jersey with red and navy trim has "MOKAN" and his No. "11" screen-printed on
the front in navy outlined in red. His number
appears on the reverse in the same format. The shirt looks to be properly
tagged on the left front tail in size M. The matching gray Nike size M white
shorts have some de-threading in the waistband from use. Both articles have the EYBL league logo and show appropriate wear overall.
The second is Young's 2017 Jordan Brand Classic game worn uniform dating to the end of his senior season. The white jersey has a "W" [West] and "3" plus the Nike Jumpman logo sewn on the front in gold. The back has a black Jordan Brand Classic patch at the top with "YOUNG" and his uniform number "3" sewn on below in gold. The matching white Nike shorts have the Jumpman logo on each side. The jersey (size 46) and shorts (size 36) seem to be properly tagged on the interior. The two sets come straight from Trae Young. These are two of the earliest game worn unis sported by Trae Young to be offered publicly. The kid could
very well turn out to be an NBA superstar.
LOA from Young's father on behalf of Trae.
