Matching pants likewise have "Suhr" stitched in the waist beside intact "Spalding" label. Red trim running down each leg (has a few areas of loss) and the blue belt loops compliment the colors of the lettering/trim on the jersey to make for a highly visual presentation.

Use and some general age related wear are evident throughout with the numbers on jersey partially secured in a few small areas where they had separated from the original stitching and there are a few other scattered imperfections. The lower (2) buttons have been replaced. Pants have a team repair and some staining and one sock has torn nearly in half. An exceedingly rare complete uniform and one of only a handful from this time period, related to any team, which we have offered.
