Andrius Giedraitis

This blue Spalding jersey was worn by Lithuanian player Andrius Giedraitis during the 2004–05 season with EnBW Ludwigsburg. The front features the EnBW Ludwigsburg team crest, the large EnBW primary sponsor mark, the Spalding manufacturer logo and Giedraitis’ number 8. The reverse displays the player name “GIEDRAITIS,” the number 8 and the EnBW Ludwigsburg designation. The jersey is manufactured in size XXL and features blue body fabric with contrasting black side and shoulder panels, finished with white piping. A sewn-on Basketball Bundesliga patch is positioned on the upper front of the jersey. This patch represents an important player-exclusive characteristic, as the fan-shop versions available at the time were sold without the official BBL patch. The front of the jersey has also been personally signed by Andrius Giedraitis. Its team-issued construction, player-specific name and number, sewn-on league patch and documented provenance support its classification as a game-worn, player-exclusive jersey from the 2004–05 season.

This jersey represents Andrius Giedraitis’ time with EnBW Ludwigsburg during the 2004–05 Basketball Bundesliga season. Prepared specifically for Giedraitis as number 8, it differs from the replica jerseys offered through the club’s fan shop through the presence of the officially sewn-on Basketball Bundesliga patch. Contemporary retail jerseys were sold without this league identification, making the patch a significant construction detail that distinguishes the garment as a player-exclusive team jersey. The jersey’s history is also connected directly to Ludwigsburg. The founder of PhotoMatchForensics.com acquired it from the former owner of Mamo, a locally known store in Ludwigsburg that has since permanently closed. This local acquisition provides a documented link between the jersey, the city and the period in which Giedraitis played for the club. In addition to having been worn during the 2004–05 season, the jersey was personally signed by Andrius Giedraitis across the front. The combination of its game use, player-specific personalization, exclusive BBL patch, autograph and Ludwigsburg-based provenance makes it a distinctive surviving piece from this era of the club’s history.
