Manufacturer: Admiral

Logo: Screened on, it is possible the '79 logos are sewn on.

Name on Back: Screened on

Numbers: Screened on, it is possible the '79 numbers are sewn on.

Other:  The Blizzard jerseys have a lot of variation.  I'm not confident I have the years identified accurately.  This McLenaghen jersey is missing the drop shadow on the numbers.  I don't know if they had both styles with and without drop shadow.  It is more likely that the '79 style had the shadow and the '80 didn't. 

Blizzard 79-80 Peter Lorimer Road 2  Blizzard 79 Road Jersey Mike McLenaghen Patch Other:  The 1979-80 jerseys also have logo variations.  Some logos have a Canadian Maple Leaf below the Blizzard.  Some don't.  See the pictures to the left to compare.  My instinct is that the '79 jersey is missing the Maple Leaf and has a drop shadow on the numbers that are probably sewn on.  The '80 has the Maple Leaf and no drop shadow that are screened on.
