The front left tail features the Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag, size “46”, with an additional tag above that reads “Designed & Tailored Exclusively For The NEW YORK KNICKS”. Adjacent tags indicate “89” and “6”LB”, while the right inseam bears a “100% NYLON” tag with washing instructions. Beneath the rear collar, a “GERRY COSBY” distributor’s tag is prominently displayed.

The jersey’s design is emblematic of Ewing’s era, with the official “NBA” logo embroidered on the upper left chest. Across the chest, “NEW YORK” is emblazoned, with the player number “33” appearing on both the front and back in striking orange on blue tackle twill. The player name “EWING” is sewn directly onto the white mesh jersey in blue tackle twill.
