The National Industrial Basketball League (NIBL) was founded in 1947, to enable mill workers a chance to compete in basketball. The league was founded by the industrial teams belonging to the NBL that did not join the NBA. The Akron Goodyears were a member of the NIBL Eastern division. Inside the left seam of the light blue satin like jacket is the “MacGregor” manufacturer’s tag with size “46”. Adjacent is a blank white label as well as the “All-Ohio” distributor’s tag, both of which are fraying. On the outer rear cape is “GOODYEAR” done in white tackle twill block letters. There is a patch removed from the sleeve. The jacket is properly tagged, was presented to us as worn and in our opinion, shows wear. Beautiful overall condition. Other than what is mentioned, there appear to be no further alterations of any kind.
