Re: Identification Help: Early 70s Basketball All-Star Jersey

The HOF responded. They don't know of the jersey's origin or any possibilities. My gut is pointing toward an Olympic all-star exhibition game or AAU team. Still searching.

I took a look at APBR.org after I posted and it appears that the last AAU All-American (as they were known) team was in 1968. That doesn't seem to fit the time frame you had on the tagging so I'll try to think of other possibilities.

Dewey
Yes, that is a possibility. Haven't researched AAU or industrial league all-star teams from the early 70s.

Possible AAU All Star jersey?

Possible AAU All Star jersey?

Thoughts? feelings? notions?

Sure thing, John.
With the holiday, I can't expect an immediate answer.

Did you contact the HOF?

I just noticed that you posted this. I will try the HOF.

So many oddball 'all-star' games over the years (like this)...
Hard to find pics, roster numbers, etc.

Size 46 is pretty big for these older styles, isn't it?
Big guy, #11...probably an Elvin Hayes jersey

Sounds good. 46+2 is very big for the era. The number eleven made me think, BIG E. It has to be from some team of importance, because the quality is supreme.

wish i could help you warren, but the only basketball game i ever watched was st johns against georgetown and i didnt even watch the whole game...

Thanks, Jeff. If that game was from 1985 or 86, then you picked a good one.

I've attempted to research this item for about 10 months now. This jersey is a true mystery. Any guesses would be appreciated.
