DEAD! Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Did the Orioles wear black in '95? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Well, for one thing the picture of Ripken all though not in the black jersey couldn't be from 95 because Jeter's rookie year was 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 looks right to me. must be something i'd notice more if i was an oriole fan. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 The O's didn't wear black in 1995.Link Sodboy13 said: As you watch more basketball, you will learn to appreciate the difference between "defense" and "couldn't find the rim with a pair of bloodhounds and a Garmin." meet the new page, not the same as the old page.

Discrim Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 check teh Pale Hose (who for the record did wear their alts in 95). Dressed to the Nines shows no team wearing an alternate after 1993, although we all know different. i figure the Orioles did wear their blacks in 95 but tpoh would know for sure.

Jeter played 15 games in 1995. I know, but I don't think he played against the O's. Jeter's first full year was 96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodsep Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Dressed to the nines does not show alternates! The indians wore the dark blue alt's, the white sox wore the black alt's ans the brew crew also.As for the jersey in question it looks real to me.

gbasalmon Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 To the best of my knowledge, the Orioles black alts have never had the orange piping on anything but the sleeves. That looks like the only problem to me, besides the fact that I'm not sure the Orioles actually wore a black alt that early... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M59 Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 OK, so tell us.. what is wrong with it? OK, brothers and sisters, let me count the ways...1.) All front piping was REMOVED from Orioles alternate jerseys in sometime in 1995 and early in 1996. If you see an O's alternate with piping it's more than likely never seen game use. It's also very easy to see where bits of the piping are stuck behind the letters.The Orioles also recycled a lot of their 95 alternates in 96. Hence, I have a Roger McDowell alternate with 1995 tagging, although he was only with the team in 96.2.) This version of the "Orioles" script was around for the second half of the 96 season ONLY, and to the best of my knowledge, only used on the road jerseys. (Good thing, too, as it's the WORST of the many versions of "Orioles" the team has had on their jerseys since 1995.)If you go back and look at tape from the '96 playoffs, you can see the O's on the field in two different road jerseys.3.) Size tagging. All Ripken gamers of this vintage should be 48 +2".4.) Virtually EVERYTHING this guy sells is F-A-K-E, fake, fake, fake!!!!!Thus endeth the lesson.
