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.
