Manufacturer: Adidas

Logo:

Name on Back: Yes

Numbers:

Other:  The Strikers always wore their striped shirts at home.  I'm still referring to these as road jerseys to keep consistent with the convention of white=home, color=road.

I'm not sure they had a white jersey until 1978.

Ft. Lauderdale Strikers 1977 Road
     
Strikers 77 Road Team Strikers 77 Road Back Ray Lugg

Manufacturer: Unknown

Logo: The '77 logo is hard to follow.  In the team picture you see some jerseys with "Strikers" screened on the upper right.  Others have nothing. They probably washed off.  The Strikers later add a Strikers patch on the upper right. Unclear if it is a second set or not.

Name on Back: Screened on patch

Numbers: Screened on

  Other:  Gerd Mueller joined the Strikers in 1979.  The jersey he is holding is similar to 1978’s with the stripe running around  the back.  It is unclear if he ever wore this jersey.  Note the detailed point to the "5" in his number "15."  I’m unsure if other numbers in the ‘78 jerseys contained this kind of detail.  Later jerseys did not (notice the number in Mueller’s 1980 photo further down the page).

  Strikers 78 Road George Best (2) Other: I love this 1978 photo of George Best.  He was one of the biggest stars in the world at the time and yet his uniform had the "Strikers" name coming off.

Name on Back: Screened on, a patch is used when the jersey is being recycled from another player.

Other:  The middle red stripe doesn't go around to the back in 1979.

The color of the yellow moves from an orange yellow to a pale yellow.  I'm not sure the pale yellow version didn't exist in 1977-78.  Need more research.  The orange yellow definitely disappears after 1978.
