Ebay 270618026527...Russell meets MLB

[sox83cubs84]

This item on eBay (can someone post the pics, please) is interesting because, with their receiving an official deal for supplying uniforms for MLB in 1992, many believe that '92 was Russell's first foray into MLB uniforms.

Not so.

The Braves used more than one source for their navy blue 1991 BP shirts, and, as the pics show, Russell was one of them. THAT, to my knowledge, is the first supplying of uniforms that Russell did for the Major Leagues.

Roman Sports, I believe, was the forerunner of Majestic. They made a number of BPs in 1983, including the White Sox home and road versions.
