Patrick Ewing 1980's Jersey help

[Jaffattack]

Hi,

I just joined the forum and it's a pleasure to be here. I mostly collect New York Knicks and Rangers memorabilia from the early 1990's. The last great years at The Garden as far as I am concerned.

Anyway, as I said, I am new so I apologize if I am posting in the wrong forum.

I have a signed Patrick Ewing Jersey and I am wondering what year it is from and if anyone could share their thoughts. The tags are Medalist Sand-Knit which I believe were the official makers of Jerseys for the NBA until 1985. Since it's a Ewing Jersey I originally thought it must be one from his rookie year, but the jersey also has the official NBA Logo which I didn't think was introduced by then. Any thoughts? And thanks in advance! I've attached pics.

Welcome to the forum. I know Blazers jerseys better than Knicks, but from a quick review, I'd have a hard time believing this was game worn by Ewing. Size is 40, which would be a sausage casing on a guy Ewing's size. Believe he wore like a 46 or 48. Also - at least when it comes to Blazers jerseys - I've rarely (if ever) seen one without year tagging from this era.

Others will likely know better than me, though. Can't speak to the signature either.

Thanks for the help! And of course, I didn't mean to imply I thought it was worn by him.
