1973-74 "John" Roche ABA Kentucky Colonels Worn Warm-Up Jacket

This jacket was worn and recycled prior to the 1973-74 season. Inside the rear collar is the “Rawlings” manufacturer’s tag with wash instructions and size “42”. On the left chest is the team “KC” logo done in white tackle twill along with an ABA basketball embroidered in red, white and blue chain stitch. On back is “John” in white tackle twill. There is a name change on back. The warm-up jacket is properly tagged, was presented to us as worn and in our opinion, shows wear. Other than what is mentioned, there appear to be no further alterations of any kind.
