    I think it was Rich Jones of the ABA's NY Nets that wore #33, but had two different sized 3s on front. I think it was from the 1976 ABA finals. Somewhere I saw that jersey up for bid and I think it had the mismatched 3s.
    Good point, Greg.

    If only every piece would be that easy to photo match because of such a difference. I wonder if anyone could fine a pic of this one?

    maybe the second "1" on the front may have been restored
    That would be a pretty poor restoration, seeing there is the perfect template already on the jersey.

    See there?...... Interesting....

    It does appear to have a larger top to it, like the Scott jersey.

    That's a home jersey, though.

    Great work all!

    We keep forgetting that, especially in the earlier times, teams didn't care as much as we do about the sizes of fonts on jerseys. Pretty unusual situation, but really cool findings by all as it is educational for future references.
