The Jersey: A Testament to Schaffer’s Legacy

This remarkable jersey, once worn by Schaffer, is a testament to his time with the New York Nets. The garment is adorned with “NEW YORK” emblazoned across the front in white tackle twill, a striking contrast against the jersey’s fabric. Adding to its uniqueness, three stars in blue tackle twill cascade down the left front, symbolizing the team’s spirit and Schaffer’s contribution to the game.

• Manufacturer’s Tag: The back inside tail features the “Rawlings” manufacturer’s size 42 wash instructions tag.
