70's/80's basketball jersey made by Athletic Wear Inc. Game worn??

[jathur02]

I've been collecting game worn/used basketball uniforms for a while now. This jersey popped up in an auction not too long ago, and was listed as game worn. It has all of the features of a game worn jersey, including stitched lettering, material, etc...but I've never seen this tag or maker before, which is on the inside of the jersey. Has anyone heard of Athletic Wear Inc.? I'm thinking it's from the 70's to early 80's, but Louisville usually wore Powers or Rawlings around this time period. Thanks in advance!

Also, does anyone know if Athletic Wear Inc. a company in a specific location? This jersey looks legit, I just wish I could find more info on it!

No clue.

Far from my area of expertise.
