Manufacturer: Champion Logo: Screened on. Numbers: Screened on or sewn on. I'm not sure if this a variation by year . Most pictures have the screened on numbers. I don't think this a fan making a Mifflin out of a blank Cosmos jersey. If I had a blank, I'd have made a Pele or maybe a Chinaglia. Need more research. Name on back: Screened
On or sewn on. The Cosmos wore the Bicentennial Patch
in 1976. |

Manufacturer: Admiral Logo: Sewn on, The logo also is bigger than the 78 color logo. Numbers: Sewn on Name on back: Sewn on Other: Cosmos switch to Blue and white uniforms. The is very dark almost black. Cosmos switch the name tag font also. They use this font until the league folds. Compare the C in Liveric with the C in Iarusci above. The 79-84 letters have unique angled clippings on the letters C, G, J, S. There may be a few other letters, but those are always stylized. Some numbers also have angled cuts on them. Notice cut on the 9 on the front of the Liveric jersey. Just as the circle portion of the 9 meets the step, there is a slight cut out.

 |
 |
|
Manufacturer: Ellesse Logo: Sewn on. Numbers: Numbers are sewn on Name on back: Sewn on Other: This jersey is right in every way except the collar. This collar has Yellow-Blue-Yellow stripes. In all photos and games I've seen the striping is always Yellow-White-Yellow. This originally sold on eBay and then was sold soon after at a major sports memorabilia auction house. The auction house got additional experts to say it was a gamer. I think it is an "improved" practice jersey. Someone has added the name later. Need more research |

Manufacturer: Ellesse Logo: Sewn on. Numbers: Numbers are sewn on Name on back: Sewn on there are 2 variations of the name tag. One is arched the other is straight across. This appears to be a function of name length. Shorter names are in a line. Longer names are in an arc. Other: The blue in these jerseys goes from very dark navy blue to a light blue. Also, the 81-84 jerseys have very light pin-striping in the fabric. The pin-striping is in the weave, it is not a separate color.

New York Cosmos 1981 Practice Jersey |

Manufacturer: Ellesse Logo: Sewn on. Numbers: The Beckenbauer example is clearly sewn on. The Alberto one appears to be pressed on. Name on back: Sewn on sometimes Other: These
jerseys shows up on eBay from time to time as gamers. They
are practice jerseys. I don't think there is any attempt
to deceive. There is simply a lack of information.
Notice the
Blue-Yellow-Blue stripe pattern in this. It may be a
cousin of the Beckenbauer variant road jersey. It
would make sense to me they had both a yellow and a blue version
to scrimmage with. It is interesting that the Beckenbauer
jerseys have numbers on the front and a name on the back.
The other jerseys don't. |
