Anubis2051 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Does anyone have a timeline for what year specific MLB BP jerseys were used? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Standardized BP caps came into being in 1999. I think the jerseys might have as well. Before then, teams had their own.

Gothamite Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yes, some individual teams were using them that far back. But in or around 1999, MLB first implemented the standard template program still in use today. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

oddball Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 "Official batting jerseys first appeared with the 1971 Chicago White Sox. They had begun to be more widespread by 1979. Among the first teams to wear a pre-game common style warm up shirt were the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, the Oakland A’s, Minnesota Twins and the Baltimore Orioles, all of whom were wearing them in 1979." - MLB Style Guide, Sixth Edition 2012   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mesh hats first appeared in 1999.But BP used to be standard hats (maybe some snap-backs in in the 80s) with non-templated team-specific jersey designs. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Here's a look at two early-1990s versions:The Brewers used that script the last three years of Yount's career, placing the photo between 1990 and 1993.

DarthBrett Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Some teams didn't embrace BP jerseys until later on. The Dodgers didn't introduce their blue BP jerseys until 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
