Mets 99-01 ST Jerseys tagged?

[Swoboda4]

Does anyone know if the Mets 1999-2000 Spring training majestic jerseys (light weight non-piping) carried the same tagging as regular season jerseys did. Or did they appear identical to store bought,with just a main label and one small size tag ? Was there anything that made them different from what was available to the public?

Robert,

I believe that there are many differences between the Majestic retail BPs and team issued BPs.

• The BPs had different sizes (numerical for the team, letter sizes like S/M/L for the retail public)
• Different tagging (I believe a numerical size flag tag was on the team issued jerseys as well)
• Different weight (micromesh for the team, mesh for the public... I don't believe micromesh was ever available for retail sale)
• Different wash code used

I am also not sure you can combine 99 with 2000 or 2001 (this would depend upon home or road BP). I believe the 95-99 were of the same style, whereas the 2000-2002 were a different style.

Send me photos of your BP and I can help further. I have examples of all of them.
