1997 Dodgers Home Jersey Question

[mrgoalie34]

Need some info. on the 1997 Dodgers home jerseys. What type of tagging (year) did they use if any. And were there any patches used that year, such as the Jackie Robinson patch...

In 1997, I believe they wore Russell jerseys with no additional strip tagging. Just the standard Russell manufacturers tag and a 100% poly tag in the tail. They wore the Jackie Robinson patch on the left sleeve on both home and road game jerseys. Both had a 2-color NOB with no nameplate.

Can anyone shed some light on this jersey...

As you can see, the 40th Anniversary of Dodger Stadium patch was worn in 1998. So at best this is a 1997 jersey re-used in 1998.

On a side note, all of the 1997 Dodgers home jerseys I have seen (including two examples from the Halper collection) do not have year tagging. I have seen 1997 Dodgers road jerseys which have year tagging similar to the Karros.

Here's some light:

- The Russell tag is from 1992/1993.

- It's missing the poly tag. Troublesome.

- If it was worn during the 1997 season it should have the Jackie patch.

- The 40th Anniversary patch was worn in 1998.

- I haven't seen that "1997" year tagging on 1997 Dodgers jerseys.

- Because of a lack of the Jackie patch, the 1997 year tagging, and the 40th Anniversary patch, this jersey is basically saying that it was made up in 1997 (and possibly used in 1997 if it has evidence of the JR patch being removed) and also in 1998. Pretty heavy use considering I don't see any puckering whatsoever in the Russell tag.

Thank you so much for your super quick response, dodgersfan!

I'd like to know if a year tag has been sawn or not. While the Piazza jersey on Lelands shows no year tag, the description of the Cedeno jersey says "1997 tag sewn on shirt tail."
