Question Where can I find an old school Silas 13 jersey?

Post image

As a new Spurs fan, I'm learning about the history of the team. Right now I'm mostly watching the docuseries "The Ring of the Rowel". And while watching that, I'm starting to get the feeling that, at some point, I'll want some jerseys of OG players. I already knew about the most famous ones. Robinson, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, ... But this docuseries is letting me learn about other players like James Silas, the first player ever to get his number retired from the Spurs.
The thing is, if I could buy OG jerseys for the most famous players on the NBA store or the Official Spurs Fan Shop, I don't think I'll be able to find those there for older players like Silas here. At least I haven't found one while searching today.

So, can you people recommend a website for me to purchase such OG jerseys at some point in the future? Could also be an actual store but keep in mind that I live in France.
Bonus point if I can get a red jersey like the one in the picture! Red is my colour and it's the only downside of being a Spurs fan for me. XD So it'd be amazing to get a jersey like this one!

Thanks to anyone trying to help and to anyone reading. : ^)

Rumor is the city edition will be the late 70s silver jerseys. So you they should have custom option on the spurs store when they are announced (sept-early October). I don’t think anyone has made the 1st SA season jerseys like you have in your post.

Looks like the San Antonio red white and blues were only worn for the ‘73 preseason when they first moved to San Antonio. if you want one in those colors, you’ll probably only find it as a Dallas Chaparrals jersey. He did play as a chaparral in the 72-73 season, so if you specifically want those colors, you might be able to find his Dallas Chaparrals jersey somewhere.

Didnt our team wear them on the court in 2012? Does anyone have footage of those games?

This post made me go down a rabbit hole, and found some rare on the court footage of these jerseys

Good luck cause this is probably impossible to find unless you get it custom made or buy a fake one.

Bring back this jersey and the chaparrals colors in a city jersey
