<B>Early 1980's Marques Haynes Harlem Wizards Game Worn Uniform from the Marques Haynes Collection.</B></I> Dating to the early 1980's, this jersey and trunks combination was worn by Hall of Fame guard Marques Haynes in leading yet another great touring basketball team. The jersey was made by Russell Athletic and displays a period size 40 label in the lower left front tail. Constructed of heavy royal blue mesh, and bearing the name "Haynes," the font was designed personally by Marques. The jersey's red and white stars are reminiscent of the early Globetrotters' design. The trunks have sewn-on white stars with a snap button/velcro front and white braided trim. The blue knit is slightly different from the mesh jersey, a common occurrence in the period -as evidenced by teams such as the Lakers, Nets and Bullets, according to our expert authenticator, and display a level of demonstrable wear similar to the jersey. A striking package for the basketball collector searching for both rarity and style. <I>LOA from Lou Lampson.</B></I>
