    Re: Question on Chamberlain Jersey

    I do NOT know if they actually produced jerseys. Pearson sold blanks of all the team jerseys they provided to various teams in the Philadelphia area. These jerseys just had the team logo on them. In another part of the store, they had a "locked" large display case where they had team jerseys that were numbered and lettered and these jerseys were far and away more expensive than the blanks.

    I don't know about the Sixers but I do know the Eagles had blank jerseys. I saw them in Franklin Field and later at the Vet. If they needed a new jersey and they could not cannibalize a jersey (s) from their inventory, they would send a blank jersey (s) out and have the work done locally. Did Pearson's do the work? Can't say.

    I posted a ad from a Eagles program from 1966. Note the address.

      I will quickly confess that I do not collect basketball jerseys and know absolutely nothing about the sizing of basketball jerseys, but was Wilt wearing a size 44 back in that era?

        Wilt wore a a size 40 in the early 1960s. With extra length, although.

              That's nice of you to say. I always enjoy your take on football stuff.
