Subject: [CR]7-eleven LS jersey - reproduction?

I recently purchased a vintage (looking) 7-eleven, long sleeve jersey. I thought it was original but I've found a couple mentions of reproductions being available (specifically, re-pops of the Short sleeve). I'm wondering how I can tell if it's the real thing or a reproduction. It's at least 85% wool (I'd have to dbl check), zipper front, made in Italy, and I think the zip pull says Santini (even though a Descente logo is on the front breast area). The graphics (except flag patches on each arm) seem to be heat applied and not sewn on too (in case that helps). Any clues will be much appreciated.
