Does anyone have any information about the Clinton Pilots jerseys from the 60s/70s? I have a chance to pick up a Pilots jersey, that was apparently handed down from the Tigers at some point.
The Pilots were the Tigers affiliate from 1971-76, but the owner believes the jersey to be from the 60s. I know very little about vintage jerseys, but I'm aware that major league clubs would often hand down their old jerseys to their minor league affiliates. Is it possible that a Tigers jersey from the 60s was used in the 70s by the Pilots?
Here are a few pictures of the jersey in question. Any help, including a possible price, would be greatly appreciated!
