Thanks Jay, I saw that in Memory Lane's catalog. Small picture, but it does seem to show a different uniform top than Ewing's. I tried to tell if there was anything distinct in the New York lettering, but only a couple of players show any lettering, and these days my eyes have no shot of seeing that.
So it stays an unknown. Do any of the 1890 NY Player's League OJs show new (not re-used) photographs that would give us a clue? I looked at a few in your book, but again, my eyes are becoming less and less sharp.
