Hoping a vintage hoops guy might be able to help.

Someone at the APBR might know something, if you haven't tried that yet. http://members.aol.com/bradleyrd/apbr.html

Yes, I was watching this jersey when it was on eBay months ago. I forgot to bid, and I know you got a good deal. I have searched for photos of the old New York Americans, but no luck. It could be a high school or college, I really don't know. I would do consistant searches on eBay for "New York Americans" (items and descriptions). I often see programs and photos of semi-pro and obscure professional teams. I think this jersey is from the 30s or 40s. Its a nice piece and worth keeping, 'til more history is found. I'll let you know if I come across any leads. Since it is made by a New York Sporting Goods company, it is safe to guess it is from the Northeast.

Refresh of a 6 year old post - still researching ...

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

Also just to add to this I found this someone had a baseball uniform also manufactured by the same Bresler company. The Tuckahoe Mohawks

Just to give you some clue points to help your search
