Definitely a jersey I would have second (and then third and fourth) thoughts about wearing, what with the meaning of Strange Fruit. Without context Iโd expect that jersey to draw attention and, understandably, not in a positive way.

Back in the bubble, [Jaylen (& Westbrook) wanted to have ‘Strange Fruit’ as his social justice message](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EcC-M-eXgAULD8c?format=jpg&name=large), but the [NBA shut that shit down](https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1284955646341910529). This has to be my favorite jersey and I’m planning on getting it signed.
Strange Fruit was a song best known performed by [Billie Holiday](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DGY9HvChXk), however she wasn’t the one to actually write it. [Abel Meeropol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel_Meeropol) originally wrote the poem in 1937. But I think most people are fair in associating it with Holiday.
Kanye also sampled it in [Blood On The Leaves](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEA0btSNkpw).
