Didn't TIERNAN make all the Lakers unis during the "showtime" era?

Tiernan made Lakers Warm ups until about 1986, then MacGregor Sand Knit made them. This warm up is a retail item. Gamers would have year tag swatch, player uniform number swatch and many times extra length swatch. Store bought NBA MacGregor Sand Knit jerseys of the time also had the "exclusive" tag, just like game-worns. Also a gamer would have a NOB. Auto looks good, however.

Would the Sand Knit and team exclusive team tagging being present on retail items also extend to other team jerseys (and warm ups) of that period, or would just relate to Lakers items?

Re: Lakers-Magic Johnson Game Issued Warm up on ebay...question?

Sand Knit made retail jerseys for ALL NBA teams of the late 80s with the "exclusive" tag. They made game-worn warmups and jerseys with the "exclusive" tag also. The retail jerseys had NO name on back (no agreement with players' association). Gamers should have year tag or player number tag. Only the numbers(with no NOB) of star players were made for retail.
