Dual-Signed Replica CHP Uniform Shirt: Hand-Signed & Inscribed by Erik Estrada & Larry Wilcox (CHiPs)
This entry showcases an authentic piece of 1970s classic television history, pop culture police procedural lore, and action drama memorabilia: a short-sleeve tan replica California Highway Patrol uniform shirt, dual hand-signed and character-inscribed by series stars Erik Estrada (Officer Francis "Ponch" Poncherello) and Larry Wilcox (Officer Jon Baker).
Airing on NBC from 1977 to 1983, CHiPs captured the imagination of millions of viewers with its high-speed motorcycle chases, sunny Southern California freeways, and lighthearted crime-fighting drama. The undeniable on-screen partnership between Larry Wilcox's straight-laced Officer Jon Baker and Erik Estrada's charismatic Officer "Ponch" Poncherello turned the duo into global television icons and pop culture phenomena, defining an era of late-1970s network television.
This short-sleeve tan law enforcement style uniform shirt features shoulder epaulets, twin pleated chest pockets with buttoned flaps, and an embroidered blue, gold, and white California Highway Patrol patch affixed to the left sleeve.
On the right chest pocket flap, Erik Estrada has rendered a dark, clear signature alongside his full character name and call sign in black felt-tip marker ("Erik Estrada / Officer Frank 'PONCH' Poncherello / 7-M-4 / CHiPs").
On the left chest pocket flap, Larry Wilcox has rendered a matching signature and character inscription in black felt-tip marker ("Larry Wilcox / Officer Jon Baker / 7M3 / CHiPs").
Affixed directly to the inner collar manufacturer tag is an official, serialized James Spence Authentication (JSA) Witnessed Protection Program label (#AF37317), confirming both signatures were signed in the direct presence of a JSA representative.
Preserved in fine condition with clean fabric, crisp collar points, intact stitching, a bright sleeve patch, and bold marker inscriptions across both chest flaps, this dual-autographed uniform shirt serves as an essential centerpiece for classic television archivists, 1970s pop culture collectors, and CHiPs memorabilia historians.
