Sand Knit Indiana State Basketball Jersey

[sportsgameused]

I recently viewed an Indiana State basketball jersey from the last 1970's with a Sand Knit tag. The jersey appears to be dureen like. However, I have seen some pics of Larry Bird as a Freshman and Sophomore which shoes the jersey he was wearing to be a mesh like material with the little holes throughout the jersey. I am interested to hear if anyone has head of a Sand Knit Indiana State basketball jersey from the Bird era. I was emailed pics and I would be willing to share them.

Thank You. Both of your jerseys are mesh like. The one I have is white and it is mesh. I am trying to figure out if they wore non mesh sand knit white away jerseys during their National Finalist season.

Sorry the one I am researching is not mesh. 33, are you a big Bird fan? If so you have to see the jersey I am referring to.

I believe the jersey to possibly be the one Larry Bird is wearing in this picture vs. SIU as it is the only pic I have which appears they are not wearing mesh jerseys. I have yet to date the photo though.

I will post pics soon. I bought the jersey from a well known dentist from Minnesota. He wrote a letter saying he received it from a fishing buddy of Bird's as they all 3 spent time together at the Hulman family lake (Hulman Center is the name of the ISU basketball court). The buddy who Bird gave the jersey to was a member of the Hulman family who Bird liked to fish with. Since he was not a big sports fan, he gave it to his buddy who then had the jersey auto'd by Bird in 1980 while they were all out fishing together. Pics will follow.

Here is a photo of Bird from the 1978 NIT program that shows him wearing a very similar jersey.
