Fifth Annual Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Auction (#28)

Lot #206:

1987-1988 Dennis Johnson Boston Celtics Worn Road Warm-up Jacket (Johnson Family LOA)

Considering Bird's supporting cast, Johnson's importance to the success of the Celtics can’t be measured in mere statistics but more in the number of wins and losses. On the inside back collar is the "Sand-Knit" manufacturer’s size 46 tag. Next to this is the "Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Boston Celtics" tag. Adjacent is the “98” embroidered strip tag. Across the front is "CELTICS" in yellow on white screen print. On the right breast is the official "NBA" embroidered logo. On each sleeve is the official "Celtics Shamrock" logo in white on yellow screen print. Across the back is the player name "JOHNSON" in green tackle twill on a white name plate. The jacket shows good wear and there appears to be no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by a LOA from the Johnson Family.
