New Jersey Gems Crewneck Sweatshirt

The New Jersey Gems, based in Elizabeth, New Jersey, played all three seasons of the Women's Professional Basketball League, from 1978 to 1981. They played at the Thomas Dunn Center and then South Mountain Arena in West Orange.

After a 9-25 first year, the Gems added Ann Meyers and went 19-17, and she shared the league's most valuable player award that season. In 1980-81 Carol Blazejowski joined them and the team went 23-13, reaching the playoffs for the only time. The Gems lost to the Dallas Diamonds in the first round, and the league folded in 1981.
