The ABA was a colorful league, literally and figuratively, and the apparel from many of the teams is classic and iconic among basketball aficionados. Such a team was the Pittsburgh Pipers.
Presented here is a colorful and heavy Pipers warmup jacket and sweat pants, attributed to guard Barry Liebowitz, who wore jersey #25, which is patched on the sleeve. The bold orange and white lettering and trim look absolutely beautiful on the blue fleece. The Rawlings size 42 jacket and sweat pants, size 34, show very limited wear.
The Pittsburgh Pipers only existed in 1967-68, which was an ABA championship season for the Steel City squad. Mr. Liebowitz was dealt during the regular season to the New Jersey Americans.
