Damian Hollis Game Worn SL Benfica FIBA Europe Cup Jersey

Original SL Benfica game-worn jersey attributed to Damian Hollis (#88) from the 2019–20 FIBA Europe Cup campaign. Manufactured by Adidas in size XL, the red jersey features white shoulder panels, the embroidered SL Benfica crest, the official FIBA Europe Cup patch, and the club's sponsor logos, including RAMIREZ on the front and Europar on the back. The front displays "SL BENFICA" above the number 88, while the reverse features "HOLLIS" and the matching number 88. The jersey was acquired through a family friend working for SL Benfica, providing a direct connection to the club. Hollis represented Benfica in the 2019–20 FIBA Europe Cup, including the away game against medi Bayreuth in Germany on December 18, 2019. Although the jersey is documented in the collection as game worn, no conclusive photographic match to a specific game has yet been established. Classification: Game Worn – Photomatch Pending.

During the 2019–20 season, SL Benfica competed in both the Portuguese domestic championship and the FIBA Europe Cup, continuing the club's long tradition of basketball competition at national and European level. American-Hungarian forward Damian Hollis returned to Benfica for the 2019–20 campaign, wearing jersey number 88. A versatile and experienced European professional, Hollis had previously represented the Lisbon club during the 2016–17 season. Benfica's European campaign included a particularly interesting connection to German basketball. On December 18, 2019, Benfica travelled to Bayreuth, Germany, to face medi Bayreuth in the FIBA Europe Cup. The German side secured a 96–78 victory, with Hollis appearing in Benfica's starting lineup and scoring two points. The teams met again in Lisbon on January 29, 2020, with Bayreuth winning 91–77. These encounters provide an important historical reference for the jersey and a potential starting point for further photographic research. Jersey Provenance This red SL Benfica jersey entered the PhotoMatchForensics collection through a family friend who worked for the Portuguese club. The jersey features the official FIBA Europe Cup patch, the number 88, and the name HOLLIS, corresponding to Damian Hollis's participation in Benfica's 2019–20 European campaign. Unlike a commercially purchased replica, the jersey was obtained through a personal connection to the club and is recorded in the collection as game worn.
