Fake Jim Zorn jersey?

[postermen]

I am 99% sure this auction is a fake:

http://cgi.ebay.com/1980s-Jim-Zorn-G...item53e00f741c

I would appreciate it if someone could confirm. I am pretty sure the numbers should be bigger, and that there should be a year on the tag, and that Champion didn't make game jerseys for the Seahawks in the 70's/80's.

I haven't been able to find a clear-cut shot of the smaller front numbers, but Champion did make some early Seaahawks jereys with no year tags. The year tagging didn't begin until Sand-Knit took over the Seahawks supplying of uniforms, which was in or around 1983. More input is needed, as I can't conclusively call this one.

Here is a '78 with the year tags:

Getting right down to the nitty gritty details, the white gap between the green and blue shoulder sleeve stripes seems a little tight compared to anything I've seen Zorn wear in the early 80s. Also, the numbers look a little smaller, front & back. Maybe, just the picture perspective though?

I'm not really the jersey expert, however, I would not spend big bucks on an early Seahawks jersey unless it has the Powers, Bill Hatch, or, Athletic Supply tags on them.

Zorn did actually wear something that looks more like this Champion jersey in '82. The numbers seem just about the same size as the jersey in that auction. So........

Another good shot of Zorn in 1982, and what could be that Champion jersey?

HBlakewolf is a member here maybe he could shed some light on this?

Also, one last thing. Zorn liked to alter his jerseys by adding material to loosen the throwing arm sleeve a bit(see pic.). I'm quite positive he did this in '82.

Actually, correcting myself, it doesn't look like he did this in '82.
