Al “The Destroyer” Attles: A Legacy in Fabric
Historic Garments from the Warriors’ Glory Days
In the annals of NBA history, few players have left as indelible a mark as Al “The Destroyer” Attles. His contributions to the San Francisco and Golden State Warriors during the 1965 and 1971 NBA campaigns are immortalized in the garments he wore, now available for discerning collectors and enthusiasts. These pieces are not merely clothing; they are a testament to a bygone era of basketball excellence.
The 1965 San Francisco Warriors Trunks
The blue satin trunks, adorned with the iconic “SF” emblem on the left thigh, are a striking representation of the San Francisco Warriors’ storied past. Within the waistband, a swatch identifier proudly displays the embroidered number “16,” while the accompanying Wilson strip label reveals the shorts’ size “34.” These trunks, presented to us as game-worn, are a rare find for any collector of basketball memorabilia.
The 1971 Golden State Warriors Jersey
The blue durene pullover jersey is a masterpiece of sportswear, featuring “ATTLES” on the back in vibrant yellow twill. The player’s number “16” is prominently displayed on both the front and back in yellow screened-on identifiers, with “GOLDEN STATE” emblazoned across the front. The neck and sleeve openings are lined in yellow-and-white stretch-ribbed cotton, adding a touch of elegance to this historic piece. Stitched to the front left tail are two labels: one indicating “16-44-71” (the athlete’s jersey number, jersey size, and season), and a Wilson strip tag showing the jersey’s size “44,” with a black ink “+3” on the size indicator.
