Grey Flannel - Brooks Robinson (1973)

[Brooksie]

Ok... I need your help. I don't know much about GU Jerseys. Does this look proper for 1973?

Any help will be GREAT!

Can someone verify that the tagging is correct for this year?

As a word on advice, if you take some time to review the Exceptionally Educational section of this site, you will be a great Wilson Tagging Primer put together by KingJammy (Rudy).

Wow..that was terrible grammar..

What I meant to say is that you'll find some fantastic reference tools in the Exceptionally Educational section of this site, including one put together by Rudy on Wilson tagging....

Size 42 is correct for B. Robinson. However, I can't recall seeing that Wilson tag on a double-knit jersey (only flannels-1972 and before). Can anyone else correct me or offer an opinion?

ironmanfan: thanks for the information. I'll look into this area of the site. I've just found this site so it may take me a while to get where everything is...so please excuse the newbe questions ha!

both-teams-played-hard: At least I know the size is correct. I'm sure "someone" else has a 1973 Orioles jersey to compare...

I was looking at the Wilson tagging. Does it matter what the font is on the number? In the Exceptionally Educational section it has a different font for the numbers.

1973 Cuellar
Same arched NOB. Wilson tag is different. The Brooks could quite possibly have a carry-over tag from 1972.


Maybe an Oriole collector can offer more help...

BTPH... Thanks for the info. on the Cuellar jersey. Looks to be the same, including the set tag. I guess the only difference, like you said, was the Wilson tag.
