I need help from the Forum members on the road grey Nick Markakis jersey I purchased from the Baltimore Orioles Team Store last night. I was looking through the dozen or so game used jerseys offered for sale when I found the Markakis jersey hung behind one of Aubrey Huff. It is a Majestic size 46 and everything about the jersey looks legit with the exception of the number; Markakis wears #21 and to my knowledge always has in his big league career. Nowhere can I find evidence that he has worn #27. The Orioles employee who helped me said that the jersey was definitely worn by Markakis at a time when another Oriole sported #21 (I assume the employee was talking about Sammy Sosa). It seems likely that the jersey is from 2005 as there are no patches on either of the sleeves. The wash tag (coded with the numbers RN53151 0062) shows wear as does the jersey, in general. The jersey has no MLB hologram as most of the other jerseys offered did, but the Orioles will be sending me a certificate attesting to it being game worn - a generic certicate, most likely.
Any thoughts on this jersey or photos / evidence of Markakis ever wearing #27? I'm fairly positive that is not a retail or custom made shirt. I could find no alterations or signs of a number / name changes. Everything about it seems identical to the game jerseys I have handled O's jerseys from the same era.
I've attempted to post photos but received a message saying the file size was too large. I will keep trying. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
