justen Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I got a replica Marlins jersey the other day and its a white with teal pin stripes. A question I had was, when did MLB switch from the cotton to the polyester jerseys? I just wanted to make sure I got a good replica not a piece of junk. The front logo is stitched and the arm patch is aswell. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby34 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 We need a picture, but the cotton ones were t shirts. All replicas were poly and authentics were double knit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutmasterflex Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Sometime in the mid 90s Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I remember kids at school wearing cotton White Sox jerseys in that style in the early '90s. I think they stopped making them around 95, or whenever Majestic got the rights to produce replica jerseys instead of just fashion jerseys.

ElwoodCuse Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Cool find. I remember getting a green and blue era Brewers replica once that was cotton with screen printing. This was definitely around 94-95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help.The Marlins never wore raglan style sleeves. They wore set-in sleeves since day 1. Look at the way the pinstripes on the sleeves connect to the neck. Your jersey resembles the Yankees and cubs (raglan) while the real marlins resembled the phillies and white sox.

True, but all of the replica Russell jerseys of that era had raglan sleeves. I remember the White Sox jerseys I saw as a kid having raglan. It's certainly not an authentic jersey, but still a great find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAnna Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 hope this helps... its a heavyish weight jersey button down front. Thanks for the help.Beautiful jersey. I wonder what the sales figures of their current look is coming along. I know it was through the roof in the very beginning because, well, anything new is considered "cool". But now that the newness has worn off, hmmmm. Very curious about this. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not an authentic jersey, but still a great find.I'm not sure about that. I had a couple Phillies road jerseys from both 92 and 93, and they were both set in. I would imagine the homes would be the same, especially because I notices these things even back then and would've probably known there was a difference. Maybe try jus messed up the White Sox replicas (though I'd say that the mistake would be an improvement. ) "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
