An Exquisite Artifact of the NBA
Step into the rich tapestry of basketball history with this extraordinary New York Knicks uniform, a testament to the storied legacy of the NBA. This blue mesh jersey, adorned with the iconic team city “NEW YORK” across the front, is a remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia that captures the essence of the game.
On the front left tail, two Sand-Knit labels proudly display their heritage: one as the “Exclusive” label and the other indicating the size (42). Adjacent to these is a strip tag reading “2” LB”, a detail that speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship of this garment. Inside the back of the neck, the GERRY COSBY distributor label stands as a mark of authenticity. The left breast is embroidered with the NBA logo, a symbol of excellence and tradition.
Design and Craftsmanship
The jersey’s design is a harmonious blend of colors and textures. The player number (6) is prominently displayed below the team city on the front and on the back, both rendered in vibrant orange on white tackle twill. The player name “TUCKER” graces the back, crafted in white tackle twill, completing the ensemble with elegance.
- Team City: “NEW YORK” emblazoned across the front.
- Player Number: “6” in orange on white tackle twill.

The shorts complement the jersey with equal finesse. Inside the back waistband, two Sand-Knit labels mirror those on the jersey, with one as the “Exclusive” label and the other indicating the size (34).
