“Buy Victor Wembanyama’s very first pro jersey! “Wemby” took his first steps with Nanterre 92 during the 2020-2021 season wearing our iconic white & green jersey.

Image operation for the club
For the Hauts-de-Seine club, it is above all a nod to a few days of the NBA draft. “It’s like the photography of our season, we didn’t sell anything around Victor, all year, when we could have”, explains Arthur Oriol, communication and marketing manager of the club. “It’s a small image operation around the club internationally. We don’t really have a real financial objective otherwise we would sell the shirt very expensive, so there it only costs ten euros more than a classic club shirt which is sold at 70 euros, “defends the Nantes manager after a few reviews on Twitter.
For the record, the 92 club recalls that it did not explode the prices when “Wemby” returned to Nanterre this season with the Mets. “We wanted to do something nice because we had a lot of requests. This collector’s jersey will delight a lot of people “still assures the framework of the club According to our information, the green and white jersey is already going like hotcakes, proof if there is any of the popularity of the potential first French number 1 in the NBA draft .
