Hubert “Geese” Ausbie’s Harlem Globetrotters Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History

The Legendary “Clown Prince” of Basketball

Hubert “Geese” Ausbie, a name synonymous with the Harlem Globetrotters, stands as one of the most beloved figures in basketball history. For 24 years, Ausbie captivated audiences worldwide with his extraordinary talent and charismatic personality, earning him the title of the “Clown Prince” of the team. His contributions to the Globetrotters were so significant that in 1994, he was awarded the prestigious Globetrotters Legends ring, an honor bestowed upon only a select few elite former players.

A Jersey of Distinction

The jersey in question is a testament to Ausbie’s illustrious career. On the front tail of this remarkable piece is the “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag, indicating a jersey size of “42.” The tag also bears the handwritten inscription “+2″ Body” in black pen, adding a unique touch to this historic garment. Across the front, “HARLEM” is emblazoned in red on white tackle twill, with “GLOBETROTTERS” proudly displayed below in gold tackle twill. Both the front and back of the jersey feature four stars in red on white tackle twill, symbolizing the Globetrotters’ storied legacy.
