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.
