Orioles Jersey...Gamer?

[Rays&Mariners]

Thoughts on this Rawlings Orioles jersey. Did Rawlings even make gamers for Baltimore in this time period??

Thanks

Not an expert but I highly doubt a real GU jersey would have "Adult" on the wash tag.

Looks like it's from their former minor league affiliate in Bluefield, WV

Minor league is correct. Any Rawlings jerseys from 1992-99 that look like MLB gamers or BPs but have a Rawlings logo on the sleeve are MiLB in nature. Russell and Majestic had the uniform deals with the Orioles from 1992-99, and as such, Rawlings could only use a sleeve logo on minor league gamers, not MLB shirts in that 8 year span. I bring this up because some poorly informed authenticators and dealers have offered #8 Orioles BP jerseys with the Rawlings sleeve logo from '92-'99 as Cal Ripken Jr. items, which they are not.
