Hey folks,
I just recieved a 2002 Nick Johnson Yankees home (#36) GU jersey directly from a Steiner auction. I noticed that on the left-hand sleeve (Johnson's left), there appears to be remenants of stitching all the way around the arm above the hem- looking exactly like what one would expect a spot where a black memorial band which was removed to look like. The tagging on the jersey is consistant with what others have posted about 02 Yankees (no date, but has size and extra length tags). So my questions is- how is it possible for this 2002 jersey to have ever had a memorial band? Could it have been recycled for use in 2003? I'll try to get photos at some point when I'm not at work. Thanks in advance!
