Basketball Jersey material over the years
I was researching an article on the Fab Five and found this really interesting article from 1997. It was with Gary Briggs who was the equipment manager with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He then went on to work with the Utah Jazz and sadly passed this year.
What's really interesting is the different jerseys material over the years. When they were nylon jerseys, they would tumble dry the jerseys at half tim, to try and get rid of the wetness. He also mentioned how jerseys smelt differently depending what aftershave was worn.
Hope you found it as interesting as i did.
