Maybe. But, I think the Name In Collar swatch looks legit and authentic to '72 Sox shirts. Did '72 Sox pants have name swatches in the waistband?

Warren, I think you are on to something there. The pants tagging on Sox jerseys from that era was a long strip tag that started with the last name and continued with the rest of the information. If someone were to take the pants tags and cut them to fit for a NIC, the new NIC would be shorter on the right side.

I've attached a couple photos from Allen NIC from 1972 and 1974. Compare these to the ebay jersey NIC and you'll see the ebay jersey NIC is shorter on the right side. That has to be a red flag.

Not a match to the eBay jersey, maybe a match to some of the other Allen photos:

I'm almost sure this picture is from '73

That's the MVP trophy. Didn't he win in '72?

Allen won the MVP in 1972, but he probably received the actual award in 1973.

That's a wire photo from May of 1973. You can buy it on ebay if you like...
