Team Identity Requested - Vintage basketball jerseys
Thanks in advance for the help!
"Cavs" jersey has an interesting Algler Davidson Sporting Goods - Columbus Ohio tag on the back tail (haven't seen a tag positioned like this before). Did Cleveland Cavs ever sport this color scheme?
West Union warm up - HS or College?
USA jersey - has a size 40 Rawlings tag. No numbering. Back is blank- basketball or perhaps track?

USA does look like an Olympic jersey to me, not numbered. I'm just going off memory but looks like could be 1972 or 1976. Looks more basketball than track but again not sure.

Looks like the Cavs jersey is mid to late 70's based on the Sand-Knit tagging. No clue if it's Cleveland Cavs or not.

Thanks! The Cavs jersey is a real head scratcher. I agree that the tagging is mid to late '70's, which is not too early for the Cleveland Cavs, but the blue uni style didn't show up until the 1980's right? Also thought that numbering was unique in that Brad Daugherty wore 43 for the Cleveland Cavs.

Definitely not a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey - but "Cavaliers" is a pretty common high school and college nickname.
The Cleveland Cavaliers definitely wore the "wine and gold" (or burgundy and yellow, pretty close to Redskins colors) during the 1970s. They switched to orange and blue around 1982 or 1983 - with orange as the road color for the first few years; a bit later in the 1980s they changed to using blue on the road.
