Vintage 1996 Space Jam x Indiana Pacers Bugs Bunny T-Shirt
Hanes (Red Tag) · Clothing & Accessories > Vintage Clothing > T-Shirts
Era / Decade
Mid-1990s (specifically 1996). Dated by the copyright text under the graphic and the specific Hanes red bar neck tag style common to that era.
Material
50% Cotton / 50% Polyester (Poly-cotton blend). Features a lightweight, soft-hand feel typical of 90s screen-print blanks.
Condition
Good. Shows visible signs of moderate wear and pre-owned aging. There is noticeable light staining/spotting on the front right side (near the graphic). The fabric shows typical vintage pilling and color fade.
Demand Level
Strong. Vintage 90s sportswear and movie promos are currently high-demand categories, especially items combining NBA teams with cartoon characters.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$45.00 - $85.00 (Condition dependent; the staining lowers it toward the low end, but the rarity of the Pacers/Space Jam crossover keeps value up).
Estimated Retail Value
$18.00 - $22.00 (Current equivalent for a modern licensed graphic tee)
Comparable Sales
Similar Space Jam NBA team crossovers (like Bulls or Lakers) regularly sell for $60-$125 in excellent condition. Due to the Pacers being a mid-market team and the visible stains, a sale closer to $50 is realistic.
Description

Features the iconic 'Space Jam' logo and the Pacers 'P' basketball logo. Single or double-stitched (likely double based on mid-90s Hanes production).

Selling Tips
Market this using keywords like '90s Vintage', 'Space Jam Promo', 'Bugs Bunny Pacers', and 'Looney Tunes NBA'. Be sure to take clear close-ups of the staining to avoid returns. Measure pit-to-pit and length, as vintage sizes run smaller than modern ones.
