Default Match ink to vinyl
I am using Stahls Neon Green for names/numbers on a couple of ball teams and use Wilflex ink for screen printing the fronts but can't match the color. Anyone have a suggestion on how I can get close?

Do you have Wilflex's color matching system?

We have the MX and PC systems but haven't been able to achieve the right shade. The mfg doesn't give a PMS color.

Does that mean that you have matched the vinyl (by eye) to a PMS book and then mixed the ink and it doesn't match? If so, what is the closest PMS color?

Have you tried using flourescent green? It is a pretty good match to 802C neon green.
