View Full Version : Laimbeer Jersey in GF Auction
Does anyone else have trouble seeing Bill Laimbeer in a size 42 jersey while at Norte Dame? This guy has always been barrel chested. The Worthy UNC jersey, which is beautiful, is a 46, and he did not seem as thick as Laimbeer. On another note, the Bird jersey in the same auction seems a bit off. I do not recall ever seeing a celtics jersey from that era with rounded numerals made by sand knit.

jdr3,
Seems a little small. I would think he was closer to a 44 (the youngsters out there probably think he wore a 58 + 4 inches of extra length). I don't know Laimbeer's college sizes. Maybe in his freshman year, he wore 42?
Did you see Rudy's post about the Worthy? Can't find a photo of any UNC player wearing the same numeral font as the "5". Thought you might have some photos. The Worthy post was from yesterday.
Rudy,
Could you please send me your email address.
Thanks,
Jim
