TwoRsAndTwoLs Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I spotted this on ebay:But something seems funny. I have a '94 Teal M's jersey back home, and I've seen pictures of the later iterations of it. I think the '94 jersey is the only one that had the white stroke around "Mariners," and that was also the year of the 125th Anniversary MLB Patch.The picture here appears legit enough for me (aside from the poor job on the back; M's used nameplates at that time) except for that.This page has photos from '95 without the white stroke, as well as other pictures, including this picture from '96, also without stroke. This from '94 shows the stroke and MLB patch:Does anyone have other evidence here? Every Fifth Day is a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I own the '95-'96 version of that teal alt, and it also lacks a white outline.

Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

SmoothieX Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I miss those jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cianfrocco Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You are correct. The jersey was introduced in 1994, as shown in the first picture (although missing the MLB 125th anniversary patch on the right sleeve). The white outline was removed in 1995, and the MLB patch was replaced by a 75th anniversary Negro Leagues patch. 1996 was the last year of the jersey, and the only patch was the primary logo on the left.The back of the jersey looked the same all 3 years, although it appears that there is no nameplate in the first picture. They did use nameplates on all Mariners jerseys back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also discounting the customization job, because they didn't get this done by a person who knows his or her stuff; no nameplate, too much space between the 2 and 4, that sort of thing.

dlions2024 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 It's legit, just bad customization. Retail authentics weren't sold with the patches, you have to get your own. If you get it cheap, strip it and send it to EPS for proper customization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
