Just for those still interested in how far the problem with the Wilson jerseys like the Phillies jersey discussed here went, Giants jerseys from their dugout stores and from McAdam Sporting Goods ( the people who did the Giants in-season lettering) were available with the 2 digit year tag on the tail and the Wilson tag in the collar at various times from 1983-85. McAdam also outfitted a few "over 30" baseball teams in the Bay Area during that time with Wilson jerseys that carried the Wilson tag in the collar and the 2 digit year tag in the tail. The teams that I was shown by Bob McAdam the store owner were the Giants, Padres, Tigers and Rangers. Complicatating matters even more, in 1986, a portion of the Giants blank extras were mistakingly shipped to the dugout stores warehouse and some wound up being placed on sale in a couple of locations. These jerseys were tagged in the standard method for balnk jerseys with the Wilson tag in the tail and the chainstitched 2 digit year tag below. It also should be noted that some of these Giants jerseys had the 1985 Wilson tags ( mainly in the larger sizes) instead of the newer Prestige tags. Fortunately, most of these jerseys were retuned to the clubhouse for on field use.

That's some hard-core historical jersey info right there... Holy cow!

There's a Braves jersey on ebay now that appears to fit the description of the '83 uniforms mentioned above (NNOB, Wilson tag in the collar, "83" swatch in the tail). I think Grey Flannel also had one of these in its last auction, although they eventually pulled it because of the NNOB.
