The 1977 Home and Road Jerseys

The circa 1977 home jersey is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. Sans manufacturing tagging, it features a tag on the inner rear collar that reads “HAWES” in bold black print. The front proudly displays “HAWKS,” while the player number “10” is emblazoned both on the front and back. The player name “HAWES” graces the back, all in vibrant red on yellow tackle twill. This jersey is a vivid reminder of the era’s style and the team’s dynamic presence on the court.

Equally captivating is the 1977 road jersey, also devoid of manufacturing tags. It boasts two tags on the inner rear collar: one reading “HAWES #10” and another indicating “100% NYLON” with wash instructions, marked with an “N” in black ink. The front is adorned with “ATLANTA,” and the player number “10” is prominently displayed below and on the back. The player name “HAWES” is rendered in pristine white tackle twill, a striking contrast against the jersey’s backdrop.

The 1981 Home Jersey

The 1981 home jersey is a testament to the evolution of sports apparel. It features the “Russell Athletic” manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, indicating size “42” and providing wash instructions. Adjacent is a “REEDER & McGAUGHEY” distributor’s tag. The front showcases “HAWKS,” with the player number “10” positioned below and on the back.
