NASL Soccer Ft. Lauderdale Strikers 77 Road Back Ray Lugg

Manufacturer: Adidas

Logo:  The '77 logo is hard to follow.  In the team picture you see some jerseys with "Strikers" Heat pressed the upper right.  Others have nothing. They probably washed off.  You can see in the photos on the left players with partial "Strikers" logos.  The Strikers later add a Strikers patch on the upper right. Unclear if it is a second set or not

Name on Back: Heat pressed patch

Numbers: Heat pressed:

Other:  The Strikers always wore their striped shirts at home.

Other: I love these 1978 photos of George Best.  He was one of the biggest stars in the world and yet his uniform had the "Strikers" name coming off.

  Other:  Gerd Mueller joined the Strikers in 1979.  The jersey he is holding is similar to 1978’s with the stripe running around  the back.  It is unclear if he ever wore this jersey.  Note the detailed point to the "5" in his number "15."  I’m unsure if other numbers in the ‘78 jerseys contained this kind of detail.  Later jerseys did not (notice the number in Mueller’s 1980 photo further down the

NASL Soccer Ft. Lauderdale Strikers 79 Road George Best (2)  NASL Soccer Ft. Lauderdale Strikers 81 Road Back John Pot Cosmos Cabanas Francios Van Der Elst

Manufacturer: Adidas

Logo: Heat pressed.  The Strikers name is bigger in 1979 than in 1978.

Name on Back: Heat pressed, a patch is used when the jersey is being recycled from another player.

Numbers: Heat pressed, there are different weights and sizes of numbers. I'm not sure about the years. The most common version is a tall thin number. A tall fatter number is added later. My guess is 1983.  The '83 photo below shows different sized numbers being worn in the same game.

Other:  The middle red stripe doesn't go around to the back in 1979.

The color of the yellow moves from an orange yellow to a pale yellow.  I'm not sure the pale yellow version didn't exist in 1977-78.  Need more research.  The orange yellow definitely disappears after 1978.
