1980-81 John Duren Game-Worn Warm-Up Shirt Jazz – COA 100% Authentic Team

John Duren is an American retired professional basketball player. He was a 6’3″ (191 cm) 195 lb (89 kg) guard and played collegiately at Georgetown University from 1976 to 1980. Duren was selected with the 19th overall pick in the 1980 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz. He played for the Jazz for two seasons before signing as a free agent for the Indiana Pacers for 1982-83, his final NBA season.

Presented is a (John Duren) game-worn pullover  (1980-81) warm-up jacket from the Utah Jazz. It originates directly from a team-source and epitomizes pro-basketball style in the 1980s. This one, in particular, can be dated to 1980-81 primarily because of the decorative 35th Anniversary patch on the sleeve.

The warm-up shows the Jazz color including a striped pattern in yellow/purple/green across the front and highlighted collar/sleeve ends in the same colors. The front also features a screened on Jazz logo. The back of the jacket has a sewn-on name-plate with a screened on “Duren”. Consistent wear from an entire season can be seen throughout, with puckering and fraying.
