Boston Celtics Game Jersey Johnson?

No, we just purchased this jersey in a collection with other jerseys that had all been packed away for 25+ years...

I believe it might be the earlier John Johnson(Cavaliers) 1st rd pick back in '71. Later in his career, during the 1977 season Johnson was traded to Boston from the Rockets & then later that year was sold back to the Rockets...

What caught my eye were the Sand-Knits tags. The top tag looks to be from the mid 1970's while the bottom tag from the late 1970's. Perhaps a transitional year for the tags? Why the different color thread?

That is strange. Has anyone else ran into a sand knit shirt with tags that either don't match years or have mismatched threading, I don't think I have.

The John Johnson that was drafted in 1981, that I posted, is a different J.J. and never made an NBA roster. I would look into the John Johnson who was traded in 1977.
