    Looking for Insight on an Early Nike Re-Branded Powers Jersey





    As my username would suggest, I'm in the Portland, OR area; as a result, I run across a fair amount of unusual Nike gear while I'm out and about. This one's more unusual than most, though.

    It's a basic shimmer nylon basketball jersey, with "OREGON" screened on (not University of, for sure; no clue as to team), and a Nike tag.

    Under the Nike tag, though, this is obviously a rebranded Powers jersey (see photos).

    I'm assuming this is from before Nike started contracting their own jersey manufacturing. Anyone familiar with a) the timeframe they rebranded other mfg.'s jerseys, and b) have any guesses where this jersey might be from? I've come up blank on both counts.

    Made by Powers, distributed by NIKE.

    Most likely An AAU team, but I have no clue.

    Here is my website, with Powers primer:

      Don't know why distributorship didn't occur to me, but makes sense. Appreciate the reply.
