at first glance all the badging looks right but theres some issues with it.
Number font looks off, sleeve numbering font and size. and heres the kicker.
here are some neck tags from my original 80s jerseys.

Finally here is a neck tag from a 1993 Classic jersey

i believe Classic changed their neck tags around 1991 to the vertical style in the last photo.
so the only thing i can think of is that the Jets jersey is a 90s early retro release?
Fiji to wear black.
They've played in sky blue before, I think...
Like yeah it's historic but that has to be the shittest jersey ever, it is simply white with some colored sleeves and I'm pretty sure they only wore it once..?
Correct. 2013 WC
