Well, the auction reads:
"You are bidding on a vintage but as new, never used, still in original package, Team 7 Eleven cycling road bike gloves. The team Eddie Merckx was on."
Merckx was a sponsor and supplied the bikes for the 7 ELEVEN team and also when they morphed into Motorola he supplied bikes to that team too (plus the Caloi "made by Merckx" bikes). I have a John Tomac 7 ELEVEN Merckx and a Andy Hampsten Motorola Merckx which are wonderful riding bikes.

I guess Eddy's sponsorship could be construed as being part of the 7 ELEVEN team in a corporate sense, right? As in being "part of the team".
Of course I think the person with the auction thought Eddy was riding even though he didn't state that.
