Rich Niemann was a journeyman NBA center who played for six teams (including two in the ABA) during his six professional seasons. During the 1968-69 campaign, when he was 22, the seven-foot center played in 18 regular-season games for the Milwaukee Bucks as well as a few preseason contests and averaged three points and three boards per outing. It was also the debut season for the burgeoning NBA franchise, which makes the offered jersey here all the more special. No player on the Bucks’ roster officially wore number “27” during the team’s first two regular seasons, although the accompanying image shows Niemann wearing the jersey in question during a 1968-69 preseason contest, which makes it one of the team’s earliest issued garments. Proper Medalist SAND-KNIT manufacturer’s tagging [size 48] is present on the jersey’s left front tail while “MILWAUKEE” appears in arched fashion across the front in white-on-red tackle twill lettering. In similar tackle twill fashion, the uniform number “27” appears on both the front and back.
Includes LOA from MEARS.
