I'm seeking the assistance of this forum's members in trying to ID the manufacture of a particular style vintage of uniform. In the recent American Memorabilia auction, was sold a circa 1967-'68 game-worn Durene jersey of Broncos' quarterback Steve Tensi (http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/Auction_Item.asp?auction_id=23361). We belive that this item was incorrectly identified as being of Sand-Knit manufacture (the manufacturer's tagging itself is missing and all that remains is some remenants of the tag's stitching) and are in the process of doing research to try to nail down the specific of this particular style.
Having done some preliminary work, the dimensions of the tag's stitching (about 1" w X 3/4" h) seem to be about the correct proportion to the Wilson tagging that I am familiar with from the early 1970s (http://pscoggin.com/Endzone/Wilson_1970.jpg), but I cannot be certain if this is the same tagging style that was also used in 1967-'68. If anyone might happen to have access to a graphic of a confirmed exemplar of Wilson tagging from one of these two years and would be willing to share it, it would be greatly appreciated.
FYI, A game-dated photo from Nov 24, 1968 vs Bills(http://pscoggin.com/Endzone/1968_11_24.jpg) shows a Broncos player (#70) with jersey tail hanging which also seems to bare tagging of this approximate size/porportion.

P.S. I would also be very interested in communicating with bidder #7008 from AMIs auction (the winning biddder of the previously mentioned Tensi jersey) for further reserch if he/she would be willing to contact me privately.
