Late 1970’s NY Knicks Home and Road Game-Used Jerseys

Iconic New York Knicks Jerseys: A Tribute to Basketball Heritage

Introduction to the Jerseys

In the realm of basketball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the game like game-worn jerseys. The New York Knicks, a team steeped in history and tradition, have produced some of the most sought-after jerseys in the sport. Today, we delve into two remarkable jerseys that embody the spirit and legacy of this iconic franchise.

The Road Jersey: A Symbol of Grit

The road jersey, a testament to the Knicks’ enduring legacy, features a “Sand Knit” manufacturer’s tag with a jersey size of “42.” The player number “9” is prominently displayed on both the front and back in white on maroon tackle twill. Below the player number on the front, the city name “NEW YORK” is emblazoned in maroon on white tackle twill. The player name “SMITH” graces the back, also in maroon on white tackle twill. This jersey, presented to us as game-worn, shows signs of game use and remains unaltered, preserving its authenticity and historical significance.

The Home Jersey: A Celebration of Tradition

On the left front tail of the home jersey, the “Sand-Knit” New York Knicks exclusive tag is prominently displayed. Adjacent to it is an additional “Gerry Cosby” manufacturer’s tag with a size “40” flag tag attached. The front of the jersey proudly displays “KNICKS” in red on navy tackle twill, with the player number “1” positioned above it and on the back in the same tackle twill. The player name “BLAIR” is elegantly stitched across the back in red on navy tackle twill. This jersey, like its counterpart, shows game use and remains unaltered, a true relic of basketball history.
