Are these the jersey and is yours made by Ebbets Field flannels?
The jersey looks just like that but its actually made by AIS.
I'm hoping to have the uniform by today and will post pictures of it
as soon as I get it.
Thanks for looking where did you find that picture?
Here we go. The uniform shows use.
The uniform can be from either of these 3 guys
Troy O'leary , Ellis Burks or Mike Lowell.
The tags from AIS are from 2000 through present and those are the only guys to wear number 25.
Are we sure that the jersey in the photo is the MLB Red Sox? Although AIS has made numerous TBTC and Negro league retro uniforms, they have never been allowed to place their logo on the sleeve as they are not a contracted supplier with MLB. I have yet to see an MLB-level jersey from them, pre or post-2000, with the A on the sleeve. The logo is allowed in the minors, however, as there are no uniform contractural agreements with the minors...any supplier can use a sleeve logo. My guess is this may actually be Pawtucket or a lower level Red Sox farm team uniform of the TBTC genre.

Dave I was just going to post this same thought.
I have a NY Giants TBTC jersey made by AIS (with A on the sleeve) which was worn by a member of the minor league Norwich Navigators.
This jersey was discussed on the Forum when it was up for auction way back when. It's a minor league jersey, not an MLB Franco, as AIS, though they made MLB and MiLB uniforms for the Mets in the mid-late 1990s, had no MLB contract in 1999, either (when this jersey is from).
I still believe it's a minor league uniform based on the rationale supplied earlier...AM mislabeled (and Lampson screwed up) identifying the faux Franco.

Yes after doing some more research it does looks like the Mets jersey is a minor league jersey. Here is a picture of another one.
