Identification Help: 1969 Cougars Flannel Jersey

Any ideas? I was thinking Washington State. Could this be a minor league shirt? All guesses are appreciated.

Warren,

Possibly Washington State, I know that McAuliffe nationally distributed flannels for schools.

Sure. I know many examples of McAuliffe supplying West Coast teams. Since it is a road grey, I would assume it would have "WASHINGTON STATE" sewn on front. Hard to say, would like to find a photo. Let me know if you find one or know where I might look.

Has anyone heard of teams lower than the college level having year tags in their jerseys? Or is it the way McAuliffe tagged all their jerseys?

A possibility. I don't know anything about this college other than it's colors and mascot are a match.

I sold this one a while back. Could be Oral Roberts U. or maybe a high school. Not sure.

Thanks. That's a definite possibility. I will investigate C of C's baseball history.

I have access to a large database of university yearbooks, I looked at a 1967 Washington State, they were wearing pinstripes and the font didn't match, it was much more elaborate with a cursive font. BTW that Yale shirt you have for sale is the stuff dreams are made of.
