Awesome vintage basketball jersey from Southland Athletic Mfg. Co. out of Terrell, Texas — the tag\'s zigzag stitching, \"wash and dry below 120°, do not use chlorine bleach\" instructions, and stamped CAT# 60374 / ORDER# 20866 all point to a 1950s–60s production run, back when team gear like this was custom-ordered in small batches rather than mass produced.
Features the team name \"VARMITS\" and number 14 in bold gold chenille-style applique letters outlined in navy, with a red/white/blue striped trim running the neckline and armholes — a great graphic combo that pops even after decades.
Condition: Shows honest vintage wear consistent with age — light overall soiling/yellowing typical of unbleached cotton knits from this era, appliques fully intact with no losses, no holes. A great wearable piece or display item for a vintage sportswear or team-wear collection.
