Sand Knit Tagging Help - Larry Bird
This is a question i have been meaning to get help on for a while on a couple of jerseys, then i just saw this Bird jersey and mine have similar tags.
So are there game worn NBA jerseys with Sand Knit tags that DO NOT have year tags?

Re: Sand Knit Tagging Help - Larry Bird
I've been meaning to post up if anyone has seen Bird jerseys with the tagging like in the Legendary Auction, because I was thinking about bidding. I've been looking for an early 80's of his for a long time, but never could find a real one.
Thanks!

From my experience, a year tag on a Medalist Sand Knit Jersey is more rare than a jersey without such tag. Post 1985, MacGregor era year tags are seen more often , but are not definitive.

As a rule of thumb, Sand-Knit NBA year tagging didn't begin until Sand-Knit got the exclusive NBA contract beginning with the 1986-87 season. Only some teams used year tags in '86-'87, but they became pretty standard the following season. FWIW, the beginning of the Sand-Knit contract also saw the beginning of the use of the Jerry West player logo on game jerseys, as well.
