Re: 2005 Red Sox Jerseys Tagging ALL REAL ONE ARE STRIP TAGGED

The jerseys that were sold without strip tags have the wrong internal code on the wash tag.

For a call up the sox assign high numbers or unused numbers. As previously stated the sox produce all #'s that are not retired from 1-60 at the start of the seasson an number above 60 is a special order. They produce all jerseys starting at size 46 or above so there is little chance that most normal size guys would not fit the shirt. Case in point wells wears a 58 Edgar would never fit in a 58 thats why they got the number 3 shirt from the team store when the trade was made.

Finally i have spoken to numerous Sox workers who have confirmed that all shirts in 2005 were strip tagged from day 1.

Why then have we seen several 2005 photos from Getty that clearly show a Red Sox jersey untucked and no strip tag is present?

RUDY:

Tagged in advance means tagged by the local shop who does all the stiching.

You fail to mention the coaching staff 8 individuals so there is 33 right there.

During the course of the season about 50 players play in a game for the Sox meaning that there are only about 5 unused shirts or less.

Also the jersey size start at and go up to 54 above that is a special order for the extras.

I have to say that I find this implausible. I would find it far more believable that the jerseys that come pre-numbered from Majestic have strip tags, and that the spares, if not generically tagged, are untagged. Based on what I know from the Orioles, here is what I believe happens:
The team orders jerseys for the 25-man (perhaps even the 40-man) roster pre-lettered and numbered by Majestic. They also get a bunch of 0062 coded blanks. Call-ups have their jerseys personalized by a local shop, when necessary. (I know this because I helped put together Ray Miller's road jersey when he returned to the Orioles in 2004.) Steve in the Rockies Warehouse has said that--IN A PINCH--they have gotten jerseys from the team store to outfit a callup.

If the jersey had the strip tagging on the outer left tail, MUST it also have an interior tag with the Majestic Code 0062 or 0065 to be game issued? According to the seller, this jersey on EBAY has no interior Majestic tag...

If this jersey didn't have the strip tag, how would you tell the difference from a game cut/issued jersey vs. a retail jersey? Anyone???

BoSox,

I'm really trying to follow this so bear with me. From what I understand from your posts:

"..tagged by the local shop who does all the stiching"
- Majestic sends completely blank jerseys to a shop in MA and this shop in MA affixes the strip tags, numbers, & letters?
If this is correct, I have a question: the exact style of strip tag used by the Red Sox is also used by several other teams including the Jays, White Sox, and Cubs. (By exact, I mean exact - same font, same color, same style, same cloth). How is that a local shop in MA seems to be producing the identical strip tag used by several other teams?
I would offer that the strip tags are sewn on by Majestic and that's why they're all identical. The odds of local shops in Chicago, Boston, and Toronto all producing identical strip tags seems highly unlikely at best.

- "the sox produce all #'s that are not retired from 1-60 at the start of the seasson an number above 60 is a special order. They produce all jerseys starting at size 46 or above"

Can you clarify this for me? Using the #5 as an example, as you saying that if #5 is going to be a spare, they produce a #5 home jersey in size 46, 48, 50, and 54? 4 different sizes of the same spare?
OR..
they just pre-number & strip tag randomly-sized, spare jerseys? IE: this size 46 will be a #5, that size 48 will be a #41, etc?

thanks,

Rudy.

Rudy # 5 may be a size 46, number 58 maybe a size 48, number 11 maybe a 50. They do not produce 4 sizes of the same shirt

I have to wonder why one of the richest teams in baseball would be following MINOR LEAGUE practice, and assigning numbers to their spare jerseys based on size. And, why no jerseys over #60?

Well thats like saying the yankees what of the most richest teams to spend money on players but not jerseys. for the longest time up untill the mid to late 90's the yankees didnt use spares, they used recycled jerseys of other players sometimes players would use jerseys that were 2 to 3 years old. They didnt even have a spare for Jeter when he came up they used an old Bernie Williams jersey and replaced the numbers with a #2 on it and the tagging on the tail said "Williams"

With ticket prices getting outrageous and for some teams have been outrageous you would think they can afford to give a player a new jersey.

How about this!! this whole time i thought for at least the world series a team got crisp clean new jerseys!!!! NOPE!!! they used regular season jerseys and just added the world series patches
