Hopefully nobody on this site paid more than $168.00 for this obvious fake of a 1988 Cleveland Indians Julio Franco home jersey.
The most blatant problem is the red piping around the neck and down the front. Indians jerseys didn't have this characteristic on their jerseys until 1994.
Also, the stripes at the ends of the sleeves also resemble a Twins jersey style, not the Indians from 1988. Indians jerseys had stripes that where much thinner.
A check of the tag in the neck appears to show that it has been hand sewn where the year tag has been attached. Also, the tag is white and Indians jerseys from this era used red Rawlings tags.
The lettering on the nameplate is also inconsistent in cut and placement for Tribe jerseys of the era.
How many other problems can you spot with this jersey?
