Nate Archibald’s Kansas City-Omaha Kings Uniform: A Piece of Basketball History

A Legendary Career

Nate Archibald, affectionately known as “Tiny,” is a name that resonates with basketball aficionados worldwide. Inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1991, Archibald’s illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including being named to the NBA’s 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. His crowning achievement came in 1981 when he clinched an NBA Championship, but it was in 1973 that he truly etched his name in the annals of basketball history by leading the NBA in both scoring and assists—a feat that remains unparalleled.

The Kansas City-Omaha Kings Uniform

This remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia is a testament to Archibald’s time with the Kansas City-Omaha Kings. The uniform features a “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag inside the rear collar, proudly stating, “Designed & Tailored Exclusively For The KANSAS CITY-OMAHA KINGS.” Below it, another “Sand-Knit” size “42” tag with washing instructions is present, marked with the number “1” in black marker.

• Front Design: A “KANSAS CITY KINGS” white tackle twill logo patch with blue and white stitching adorns the left chest.
• Signature: Archibald’s autograph, rendered in black pen, graces the area below the patch, rated a 7 in our opinion.
• Back Design: The player name “ARCHIBALD” is emblazoned across the back in white tackle twill, sewn onto a red nameplate.

The Accompanying Pants
