New York Nets x Julius Erving [1973 - 1976]
This past summer has given me some decent jersey pickups and here is one that's been on my list for a while. Featured here is a Nike replica of a custom made New York Nets Julius Erving jersey.
Excluding the side panels and company logos, this was a custom job from front to back. This jersey was completely blank and Game Day Sports Archives was able to complete the look. The letters and numbers are sewn in single layer tackle twill. I know the NBA logo isn't supposed to be there since this is a ABA jersey - but like most things in life, I simply don't care.

Chicago Black Hawks x Bobby Hull [1965-72]
Today's post is a vintage Chicago Black Hawks Pro Player replica jersey of "The Golden Jet," Bobby Hull.
I've been wanting a Bobby Hull jersey for a really long time, and after buying a blank uniform through an ad, I took it to Game Day Sports Archives for the custom job. This is the home style jersey with single layered tackle twill on the sleeves and back. Very simple, but classy and true to the Original Six era.
