As a testament to his remarkable career, an exquisite award was granted to Brown during his final year with the Sonics, celebrating his enduring legacy and contributions to the team.

The Award: A Symbol of Excellence

This prestigious award features a black base measuring 6” x 8” x 2”, adorned with a plaque that reads, “FRED BROWN PLAYER 1971-84 40th ANNIVERSARY TEAM”. The base is in mint condition, reflecting the pristine nature of this commemorative piece. Detached from the base is a circular crystal, with a diameter of 8”, etched with the words “40th ANNIVERSARY SEASON SONICS 1967 2007” surrounding the iconic “SONICS” team logo. This crystal, too, is in mint condition, symbolizing the timeless impact of Brown’s career.

The Jacket: A Wearable Legacy

Accompanying the award is a black leather jacket, a garment that encapsulates the essence of Fred Brown’s illustrious tenure with the Sonics. Inside the back collar of this jacket is the “JH DESIGN” manufacturer’s tag, with an additional flag tag reading “3 XLT”. Another “JH” tag is stitched onto the bottom left, ensuring authenticity and quality.

• Distinctive Patches: The jacket features a “40th ANNIVERSARY SEASON SONICS” patch on the left breast, celebrating the team’s rich history.
• Personalized Details: “BROWN” is stitched on the left sleeve in white leather, with his player number “32” just below in white on yellow leather.
• Team Pride: The “SEATTLE SUPERSONICS” logo patch adorns the right sleeve, a nod to the team’s legacy.

The jacket is in mint condition, housed in its original “JH” garment bag, complete with a leather “NBA” logo patch on the front left and Brown’s player number “32” on the back in white on yellow leather. This ensemble is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from Fred Brown himself, further enhancing its value and significance.
