Syracuse Basketball Jersey In Mastro?

[Eric]

Hello everyone

I wanted to ask some questions about the Billy Owens Syracuse jersey in the current Mastro Auction.

I have not been able to find any Syracuse jerseys from the years Owens was there with front numbers as small as this one from mastro

http://www.mastronet.com/index.cfm?a...6&CurrentRow=1

Owens played 3 seasons at Syracuse
1988-89
1989-90
1990-91

(I wrote Mastro yesterday and have not heard anything. I even sent them photos from each season with numbers this size.)





Can anyone find game photos with these small numbers? I asked Mastro to send me the pic Lampson used to write his LOA and will share it once I hear back.
Thanks
Eric

I am syracuse Orange collector and this jersey doesnt worn or issued for billy owens , seem like its sample jersey from champion company. Syracuse always worn bigger numbers on the front of the jerseys since syracuse worn champion supply.

The front numbers seem painfully small. Also, I have seen numerous Champion salesman's sample Owens Syracuse shirts on eBay. They had the same tags as this one, however, did have correct numeral sizing.

mchmag, are you from Syracuse? If so, always great to come across people from home. Left Syracusue in 1978, after joining the Navy.

Here are photos of owens from the 90 & 91 seasons. While the numbers are much bigger, note the size of the numbers on the BC 91 unifroms. Did Syracuse change to the small size for owens senior season?

[Eric]

Owens did not play his senior season. He was drafted after his junior year.
