From many years of reading old Pittsburgh newspapers, I can tell you that the spelling varied, before 1890 and after 1911. It wasn't just universal that everyone accepted no H or accepted the H coming back.
Those jerseys didn't have anything on the front, so the writing you see on the T206 Pirates and the Tip Top cards, wasn't actually on the jerseys. That's why it's easy to make a mistake or have a difference.
