Buffalo Braves road jersey was worn by forward/center Jim McDaniels during the 1977-78 NBA season, which was the club's final year in Buffalo before moving to San Diego (they are now the Los Angeles Clippers). Graded a perfect A10 by MEARS. The blue mesh jersey is lettered Buffalo across the front and features the number 44 on the front and reverse. McDaniels is lettered on the reverse, directly above the number. All front letters and numerals are applied in white on black tackle twill. All reverse letters are applied in white tackle twill. Located on the interior left front tail are a Wilson 44 label and an adjacent flag tag, upon which is written 3" X LONG. The jersey is original as issued and displays moderate wear. The 1977-78 season marked McDaniels only season with Buffalo and his final season in professional basketball. The Buffalo Braves joined the NBA as an expansion franchise in 1970 and remained in Buffalo through the 1977-78 season. Full LOA from MEARS (graded A10).
