Re: Red Sox 1970's jersey
Is it me, or does the "N" on the front look more like an "H"?

Re: Red Sox 1970's jersey
Hello. If this jersey is from 1975, where is the Boston Bicentennial patch? I think the SAX wore this typr of patch in 1975.

Re: Red Sox 1970's jersey
my 75 has no patch or evidence of one. many have said they were removed to recycle to minor leagues. i have seen many photos from 75 without the patch. Jeff

Just to tidy up a couple of issues in this older discussion, contrary to what Mitchell & Ness believe, the 1976 Massachusetts Bicentential patch was worn by the Red Sox in 1976, NOT 1975. You can go to the HOF uniform website to confirm this.
Also, someone suggested that that the 'N' in BOSTON on the jersey in question looked like an 'H' and hence implied that the jersey might not be legitimate. In fact, this was what the font did look like between 1972 and 1978, once again, confirmable as well at the HOF uniform website. Of course, when this style of road jersey was re-introduced in 1990 they did start using an 'N' that looked like an 'N'.
FWIW, $299 for a well-worn example of a Red Sox World Series year jersey belonging to infamous 3rd base coach Don Zimmer (The Gerbil) seems like it was a pretty good deal to me.
