scarsofthumper Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I loved watching this game, even on HD watching it in black and white it was kinda interesting. It would have been cool to add a little haze filter. And if they REALLY wanted to be authentic to 1948, Kosuke Fukudome wouldn't have played at all. I mean seriously, do you really think a JAPANESE player would have been playing AMERICAN baseball in 1948?Food for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I was about to raise a fit about them leaving the numbers off of the front. But, I just saw some photos from 1948, and they didn't wear numbers on the front then. Majestic and the Braves could have put some more effort into these by using the thicker script that was used in 1948, not the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 One last item of note in case there was any doubt... I just noticed on the tag of the throwback jersey it said "cream" but the jersey is indeed as bright white as it appeared in photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Apologies for bringing this back again. But in case someone else has an interest, a friend of mine inquired about the navy Cubs cap that had never been worn in Cubs history until this year's 1948 throwback game and got this response from Cubs.com beat writer Carrie Muskat:"My baseball historian Ed Hartig confirmed the cap design was wrong, but said there was a problem with the manufacturer and that was the best they could do."So... New Era, I presume? They certainly have the correct color of blue available, and even if they would have had to attach a modern red Cincy C on it it would have been closer. Oh well.

It does look like the right blue. Still has the outline, but that would have been better than what they wore. Interesting they can mass produce these for sale but couldn't get them done for the real game. It's not like there wasn't enough advance notice.
