I'm not an expert authenticator, so I could be wrong, but unfortunately I'm pretty sure it's not a FL uni. Marc Okkonen's pictorial history of the league (published through SABR back in 1989) has a Newark team photo, in which the Newark lettering appears to be quite a bit lighter in color than the black stirrup socks worn by the players (i.e., not the dark black in the uniform here). Also, none of the photos show the black band around the color that your model features. Interest piece, though.
