1960's basketball ball and jerseys
Guys i just found this site and i have to say it seems you have it together. i am looking for some up close pictures of the ball used in the 60's NBA, preferably the branding on the ball. I think it was a spalding ball (not sure), also who made the official NBA jerseys in the 60's. I have contacted all the company's and the NBA hall of fame with no response. this is why i have come to the experts. can you help me out?

The Celtics were supplied by Horace Partridge for a decent portion of their dynasty years, and I've also seen Wilson jerseys pop up, as well.

I wanna say it was Wilson.

When Spalding took over at the start of the 83-84 season, they had a print ad "The first NBA rookie with 90 years experience".Greg
