It's official! This set of referees' stripes is the perfect addition to any uniform collection. The black-and-white, "convict" style NBA jersey has no tags but a league patch (black stitched letters on white circle) and functional zipper near the front collar. On the back is the white number "7" on a black patch. This shirt was worn by ref Norm Drucker circa 1966. The red-and-white striped ABA shirt has a Rawlings tag on the back inside tail, working white zipper on the blue front collar and ABA patch on the league's famous red-white-and-blue ball. The number "12" stands out on the back in white on a blue patch. It is believed to have been worn by John Vanak during the final season of the circuit in 1975-76, the only year this style of uniform included numbers.
