REPLICA ON-FIELD BASEBALL SWEATERS JUST LIKE HOW THEY WORE IT
History: Seattle’s first foray into the big leagues was beset by problems: weather, an inadequate ballpark, and under-financed ownership among them. The team’s one-year existence might be a footnote without the appearance of Jim Bouton’s book “Ball Four” which immortalized the Pilots’ 1969 season and sent kids all over the country into their backyards and driveways to practice Bouton’s specialty pitch, the knuckleball.
When we released our first collection of shawl-collar MLB sweaters, we were delighted with the response. Of course, one common reaction was “Where’s my team?” Of course, as the shawl collar sweaters were worn on-field only into the early 1930s, our original selections were limited to the original sixteen clubs. But what if newer teams wore these sweaters? We created new designs to include expansion teams like the New York Mets and Los Angeles Angels, relocated teams like the Oakland Athletics and Baltimore Orioles, and updates to original teams like the Cubs and Giants.
These alpaca/wool blend sweaters are made to the same exacting specifications as the ones from the early 20th century. They feature thick buttons and sewn felt chest emblems. Perfect for that off-season cold weather, sitting by the fireplace, and those early Spring Training games.
