Offered is a Boston Celtics home jersey dating to circa Dave Cowens final season with the team in 1979-80. Wilson size 46 & 3 inch x-length tags sewn to tail while "Celtics", number 18 & "Cowens" are also sewn to the white mesh jersey. During this time frame Sand Knit supplied the Celtics with their regular season jerseys. Original consignor was told at the time of the acquisition that the jersey was used during preseason training camps, which may explain the Wilson tagging. Jersey originated from the personal collection of Ed Borash, a Boston area printer that supplied the team. Mr. Borash maintained several long term relationships with many Celtics and NBA players.
