Manufacturer:  Umbro, The Umbro logo in upper right. 

Logo: "Tea Men" sewn on the upper right

Name on Back: Screened on

Numbers:  Screened on

Other:  This  jersey doesn't have the colored T in the front like most Tea Men's jerseys.  There are 2 variations of this shirt. 

The Alhinho shirt has only the "Tea Men" logo sewn on.  It is unclear if it ever had the Tea Men's patch sewn on over it.

The Wit jersey has the Tea Men logo. I'm not sure if it is over the "Tea Men" script logo.

Manufacturer: Umbro

Logo:  The logo in this variation just says Tea Men.  You see it in the adverstisement and the Artur head shot.  My Weller jersey has a patch sewn over this logo.  See the photo above.

I'm not sure if they ever wore this in a game.  All the game photos I've seen have the round patch.
