Logo: "Tea Men" sewn on the upper right.

Name on Back: Heat pressed

Numbers:  Heat pressed

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 over it.

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