Dark blue dureen shirt with orange trim at collar, arms and waist. "KNICKS" sewn across the front. 5" zipper at front of collar. Thorp Sporting Goods, 452 Fifth Ave., New York City tag sewn in front tail along with MacGregor Size 46 and washing instructions tag. Shooting shirt in great condition for the age. Nice piece of vintage New York Knicks basketball history.
