Artifact Documentation
The Artifact
Original 2019–20 Hamburg Towers game-worn black jersey prepared for German guard Malik Müller (#12) during the club's inaugural season in Germany's Basketball Bundesliga (BBL).
Manufactured by K1X Hardwood in size XL, the jersey features a black mesh construction with white side panels, the Hamburg Towers crest, the official easyCredit BBL patch, and the club's VTG main sponsor logo.
The front displays the number 12 alongside the Suzuki and Bergmann & Söhne sponsor logos. The reverse features "MÜLLER", the number 12, the EXporo sponsor logo, and "HAMBURG" lettering.
The jersey exhibits substantial signs of use, most notably the heavily worn screen-printed K1X Hardwood neck label. Much of the original printing has deteriorated, leaving the manufacturer's markings partially illegible. The condition of the label is consistent with repeated wear and laundering.
The jersey was personally collected from the Hamburg Towers' club office following the 2019–20 season, together with Michael Carrera's game-worn uniform, which is also preserved in the PhotoMatchForensics collection.
Classification: Game Worn – Heavy Usage – Photomatch Pending.
Historical Documentation
Story & Historical Context
The 2019–20 season represented a historic milestone for the Hamburg Towers. Following their promotion from Germany's ProA league in 2019, the club entered the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) for the first time.
Among the players representing Hamburg during this inaugural top-flight campaign was German guard Malik Müller, who wore jersey number 12.
The transition to the BBL marked a new chapter in the Towers' development, bringing the club into competition with Germany's established first-division basketball teams.
However, the season proved challenging. Hamburg struggled to establish itself in the league, and the campaign was ultimately interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. The Towers did not participate in the subsequent season-ending tournament.
Jersey History and Provenance
This black K1X Hardwood jersey was part of the Hamburg Towers' 2019–20 uniform collection.
It features the official easyCredit BBL patch, reflecting the club's first season in Germany's highest basketball division.
One of the jersey's most distinctive characteristics is its heavily deteriorated screen-printed neck label. The manufacturer's logo and sizing information have become partially illegible, providing visible evidence of substantial wear and repeated handling or laundering.
Following the conclusion of the 2019–20 season, the jersey was personally collected from the Hamburg Towers' club office.
During the same visit, Michael Carrera's game-worn uniform was also obtained. Both items are now preserved in the PhotoMatchForensics collection, documenting an important period in the club's history.

Photomatch Research
Although the jersey displays considerable signs of use and has direct club provenance, no conclusive photographic match to a specific game has yet been established.
Future research will focus on identifying individual characteristics in game photographs, including the placement of lettering, number graphics, stitching irregularities, and other visible textile details.
For PhotoMatchForensics, this jersey represents a tangible connection to the Hamburg Towers' historic first Bundesliga season, supported by direct club provenance and distinctive physical evidence of use.
