Just and FYI



The New York Americans was the original team name to what is now known as THE BROOKLYN NETS!!!

Here is a very cool article posted about them a few years ago

Re: Vintage Basketball Question

Still haven't been able to track any photos down of the NY Americans of 1940's ABL.
Here's some team history I've dug up during my research:

Re: Vintage Basketball Question

A new year, an old search, and a new email address.
Please let me know if you can help with my quest to find a photo of NY Americans of 1943-44 ABL.
Thanks! John

That's some fascinating information. Thanks Volunteer! I will try to find some more of these programs in my endless quest for a photo of the Amerks uniform.

Re: Vintage Basketball Question

Well this LONG quest had come to a close.
Not the ending I was hoping for but still enjoyed the quest.

Re: Vintage Basketball Question

Man, oh Man. Check out these beauties. Another NY Americans as well as Brooklyn Indians of ABL.

Re: Vintage Basketball Question

I'm thinking that "New York" one is probably early Knicks or another team rather than NY Americans.
