The term "game-used" could have been invented for this authentic Cincinnati Royals jersey, a splendid relic of the days in the NBA when almost anything went on the court and the refs looked the other way. Worn by second-string guard Tom Thacker who played guard on Oscar Robertson's team for three seasons from 1963-66 and wore #25, averaging around 3 points per game. Fantastic use, with good staining and a number of rips and snips. The dureen jersey has the lettering "Royals" and the number "25" stitched in double-layered tackle twill on the front of the heavyweight off-white nylon jersey, and the number is also stitched on back. Thacker's name was removed from the back o/w all original. There is a "Wilson" tag on the lower left front tail with the size "40." NBA history in every thread.
