James Donaldson and Pete Cross Jerseys: A Tribute to Basketball Legacy

Introduction to the Jerseys

In the realm of basketball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the game like the jerseys worn by the legends themselves. Today, we delve into two remarkable pieces: the jerseys of James Donaldson and Pete Cross. These jerseys are not just garments; they are relics of basketball history, each telling a unique story of the players who donned them.

James Donaldson’s Jersey

The James Donaldson jersey is a testament to the craftsmanship and style of its era. On the front right tail, it proudly displays the “Rawlings” manufacturer’s size 46 tag, accompanied by an “Extra Length” flag tag. The player number “40” is emblazoned in yellow on white screen print on both the front and back, while the name “DONALDSON” is elegantly printed across the back in green screen print. This jersey is a symbol of Donaldson’s towering presence on the court and his contributions to the game.

  • Manufacturer: Rawlings
  • Size: 46 with Extra Length
  • Player Number: 40
  • Player Name: Donaldson

Pete Cross’s Jersey

The Pete Cross jersey, on the other hand, carries its own intriguing narrative. The left front tail features the “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s size 44 tag. The front of the jersey proudly displays “SONICS,” while the player number “41” is prominently featured below and on the back. These elements are crafted in white on green tackle twill. Interestingly, the original player name “CROSS” was removed and replaced with “B.MURPHY” in green screen print, adding a layer of mystery and intrigue to this piece.

  • Manufacturer: Sand-Knit
  • Size: 44
  • Team Name: Sonics
  • Player Number: 41
  • Alteration: Name changed from “CROSS” to “B.MURPHY”
