    Here is a picture of the jerseys that the 1983 team wore:



    The jersey had both the number and boat logo on the sleeve. But, have you seen the way that players wear their jerseys now compared to then?



    Look at the sleeves on Condredge and Joe Willie



    My bet is that the team had to choose between boat logo and numbers on the sleeve for the current retro jersey and chose the numbers.

    But, yeah it is a Reebok "watered-down" version if you want to call it that.

    I bought the white blank jersey off E-Bay a few years ago & had it done up like Joe Barnes...no press on #'s either, full tackle twill. I went by memory & was actually dead on with the double blue colour scheme.
