EARLY ROGUES JERSEY, 1978

I believe this is one of the earlier Rogues jerseys that was later used by the reserve team. In the publicity head shots of the players they are wearing Admiral jerseys like this one. It is the correct style for Admiral jerseys of the late 1970's and has the the sewn-on Admiral logo which was used on the professional versions of uniforms. If anyone has more information, please let me know.
