Majestic BP Jersey Primer
not sure if i already posted this one..
Majestic BP tagging guide. Depending on the year, Majestic BP gamers were either tagged solely in the collar, on the outside tail, or both. To use the guide, use both the collar tagging and body tagging in combination to ascertain the year of the jersey.

additionally: Majestic sleeve logo guide:
1980s - nothing
1990-1993 - just the "Majestic" name sewn onto the sleeve.
1994-1999 - "Majestic" name with mountain peaks logo
2000-current - Single-color mountain peaks logo. "Majestic" name is not present.

Re: Majestic BP Jersey Primer
Great thread..thanks Rudy!
I have a "early to mid 1980's" Twins BP, with the "Bangor" outter tagging, but no other tagging (size etc) and it is blank-backed. Is this a replica?
Re: Majestic BP Jersey Primer
chris,
i can't say. post your jersey and we'll see!
the primer wasn't meant to imply that if the years overlap, then it should have both body and collar tags. deciding on how to best present the information visually was difficult because some years there was only a collar tag or only a body tag and other years they used both. as well, there were sometimes different styles of BP jerseys within the same era and 1 style would have 2 tags and the other only had 1. i was hoping that the primer would become self-explanatory once the person was looking at it with the actual jersey in front of them.

Rudy...I forgot about this post (and subsequently sold the Twins BP jersey) but have a Chicago White Sox BP-style jersey that I hope to get an opinion on. Replica or team issued do you think? Thanks...chris
Re: Majestic BP Jersey Primer
i'm no sox expert but i don't think it's team issued. i can't even identify the style. it looks like the home pullover game jersey (not BP) that they wore from '82-'86 but those had nobs and the back numbers weren't red. it doesn't look like any BP shirt that i know of. have also never seen that kind of majestic tag on a gamer.
my guess is that it's either a retail shirt or a minor league shirt. either or. you could email d. miedema over at mears for a conclusive opinion.

Hello Rudy, I was hoping you would be able to tell me if all or if this type of stitching for the care tag is expected out of cool base retail, game used and team issued jerseys?

the second/bottom pic looks fine. i can't see the stitching in the first/top pic because of the overexposure/flash.

Re: Majestic BP Jersey Primer
I see. Well, is it safe to say that Cool Base jerseys have the care tag stitched on the seam, and of course the regular polyesters within, as a norm?

hi jose
re: cool base jerseys being sewn on the seam.
i personally don't have any cool base gamers. you should definitely post in the main "game used memorabilia" discussion area and ask. many members have cool base gamers and they could post their images to compare. could be interesting!

Hi Rudy...hi everyone else who looks.....one more possible team issued BP jersey?
This is a great looking, Padres jersey with two color fabric, sewn on lettering, Majestic collar and hem tagging...blank-backed and no size tag. Retail?

seems to date to around 85/86. most likely retail yes. for a pro shirt i'd think there'd be a size tag of some sort. again, i'm no expert on the intricacies of majestic BP retail offerings in the mid-80s. the majestic tag is sewn differently from what i'm used to seeing on majestic pro BP shirts.

Definitely a replica...from 1982-86, the Sox wore red mesh home BPs and blue mesh versions on the road.

I don't have the original primer, but I can piece things together from my files. My attempts to copy and paste photos on GUU haven't worked for a few months. I will copy what I have and send it to you via email if you agree to repost it after receiving it so that other GUU members can learn from them, as well.

Re: Majestic BP Jersey Primer
As has been the case with the Majestic game jerseys, a new sleeve logo was adopted in 2016, featuring both the mountain peaks logo and the company name underneath.

More on 1982-86 White Sosx BPs.
Also, keep in mind that Majestic first was called that in 1984. The 1983 BP shirts (both home red and road blue) carried Roman Sports tagging. The 1982 BP top, a totally different design as seen on Ron Leflore's 1983 Fleer card (I'd appreciate it if someone could post a photo of it) was supplied by Sand-Knit.
