Isiah Thomas Sand-Knit Game-Worn Pistons 1989-90 Away Jersey 100% - Lampson COA Currently on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=200820760978
Can anyone help me identify that I am correct with the assessment that in 1989-1990 The Detroit Pistons wore vinyl lettering for the names on the back of their jerseys? The eBay listing the jersey has screed on lettering for the last name. I emailed the seller and am awaiting a reply, but the listing ends in 27 hours and I'd like to bid if I was wrong with my findings so maybe someone can help between now and then.
Maybe someone can help find better pictures than I found?
It originally sold in American Memorabilia in 2007 -

Yes the pistons wore vinyl letters and numbers during this era. I'm skeptical of the smaller version of the designed for tag. I think I recall that it has been discussed before and was used on non gamers.
Here is a link that has a good picture of the normal style of designed for tag:

Hope someone else can chime in if they have the link for the other discussion involving the small tags.

The seller replied showing me the following Grey Flannel lot:

The jersey they emailed me has correctly vinyl lettering for the last name.

Just received the following email from a vintage NBA expert:
"Grey Flannels jersey is vinyl, Pistons never wore screened letters on back. Pistons changed to sewn on letters in 1995-1996"

Vinyl seems to be what I recall as well.
