1981 New Jersey Nets HELP

[DantleyHOF]

Hi Forum,
Any basketball experts in here. Did the New Jersey Nets NBA basketball team wear Rawlings in 1981? Can someone show me a New Jersey Nets warmup jacket or jersey from 1981. Just showing the tags. Did Rawlings have exclusive tags like SandKnit did. B.F.

I had a 81-82 Nets jersey a while back. I no longer have the shirt but I found a pic of it in an auction. If I remember correct there was no other tagging besides the rawlings size tag and a 81 year tag on the inside tail. I don't remember any signs of a tag being removed either.

Rawlings is proper for the era, and they never used "exclusive" tags on any jerseys that I recall.

This is a 1981 Foots Walker Nets jersey.There is a year tag inside the jersey.

Fred, David, mfsquirrelmaster,

Thanks for all your help. I am so use to seeing exclusive tags like SandKnit. When you see a 81 tag on Rawlings NBA game used jerseys. Is it from 1980-81 or 1981-82? I say 1981-82. The vintage stuff. I am new. B.F.

The year tag would designate 1981-82.

Dave,

Thanks for your help once again. Looking at my NJ Nets 1981-82 game used jacket. Looks like a patch is missing bottom right side. Not sure if there was a pocket missing or a NBA patch taken off. Any help? Thanks. B.F.

both-teams-played-hard,

Thanks for posting pictures. I am thinking the New Jersey Nets taken off the NBA patch and recycled it other years. I am new to game used vintage items. Looking at the pictures posted of the New Jersey Nets Rawlings warmup game used jacket. I see no pockets on the sides. So I am missing the NBA patch. I do see on the pictures posted, two numbers on the inside jacket. That tells me. The Nets do recycle there gamers. Once again. Thanks for everyone that helped me. B.F.
