Other:  I'm not certain the Davy Kemp jersey is really a '75 home jersey.  The first name on the back points to a '75 jersey.  However, the '75 Ilija Mitic photo does not have a drop shadow on the numbers.  Need more research.

This jersey has blue numbers and letters instead of the more common black.    I have no photos of the Earthquakes wearing blue numbers.  However, this shirt has excellent provenance.  I'm pretty sure this variation is good.

Other:  I'm not really sure what these jerseys are.  They appear to have been worn in at least 2 games.  However, they aren't the stadium fields you would expect in 1979.  So, I'm calling them preseason, but I have no idea.

My instinct is this was the '81 second set and the '81-82 Indoor set.  However, I can't prove that.
