With his career winding down, Dave Cowens wore this jersey during his final training camp with the
Boston Celtics.
During the era, Sand Knit was the official supplier of the Boston Celtics regular season game worn
jerseys. Manufactured by Wilson (size 46, 3” X Length), this mesh body shell jersey bears the 1979-
86 version of the Wilson tag and supports the dating. Other Wilson physical characteristics which
differentiate this from Sand Knit products include the round tail (straight tail for Sand Knit) and the different style of player’s name font and numbering.
Final Grade MEARS A10. Jersey shows heavy game wear, with puckering to the numerals, lettering, and tagging.
Jersey originated from the personal collection of Ed Borash, a Boston area printer that supplied the
team. Mr. Borash maintained several long term relationships with many Celtics and NBA players, and
this item was gifted to him by the Boston Celtics.
