Grey Flannel's 1967 Phillies Jersey?

[hblakewolf]

Current offering in the Grey Flannel auction, described as a 1967 jersey. Strange thing about it, however, is that the Phillies first wore the P on the breast in1970, not 1967. The Phillies had their full name PHILLIES on their 1967 jerseys. Likewise, the description indicates that the only alteration is the missing year tag. The missing embroidered tag in the collar, or lack of tagging in the collar (should have the last name of the player who wore this) should also be noted.

Lot # 67 - Circa 1967 #44 Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training Game-Used Home Jersey



In the collar is the "Wilson" manufacturer's size "42" wash instructions tag. On the front left chest of the jersey is Phillies "P" logo. On the front right chest and on the back of the jersey is the player number "44." All lettering and numbering is done in burgundy on white chenille. The year tag has been removed from this jersey. The jersey shows game-use and besides the removal of the year tag, appears to be no other alterations of any kind.

Since this shirt is not attributed to a certain player, couldn't they have easily said "late 60s or early 70s"? Seems they'll update the listing.

i'd like to know how and why they seemed to pick 1967 specifically. they say "circa" but why circa 1967? anyway, look what i found:

Nice work locating the "67" Phillies jersey. This seems to be the mildest of mistakes in GFC's error trove.
