New York Cosmos 1981-82 Practice Jersey (NASL)



		Manufacturer: Ellesse Logo: Sewn on. Numbers: Unclear how many variations. 1. The Beckenbauer example is sewn on. 2. The Alberto one appears to be pressed on. Name on back: Sewn on sometimes Other: These jerseys show 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. I suspect this is a fan "improvement. "
