Kai Sotto will be wearing No. 11 for the Adelaide 36ers, the same jersey number he used during his stellar UAAP juniors career for Ateneo

The Adelaide 36ers have opened pre-orders for the jersey of Kai Sotto just days after the National Basketball League squad announced they have signed the 7-foot-3 big man.

Based on the photos released by the team, Sotto will be wearing No. 11 for the 36ers, the same jersey number he used during his stellar UAAP juniors career for the Ateneo Blue Eaglets.

The navy blue home jersey, which will be manufactured by sportswear outfitter Champion, is available for AU$99 or about P3,700.

According to the 36ers’ official online store, the jersey is scheduled to arrive in Adelaide on May 31.

Sotto also chose No. 11 for his NBA G League Ignite jersey, but the initial merchandise sold misspelled his name. (READ: Not down to a T: Kai Sotto’s first G League jersey missing a letter)
