This is NOT a Cal Ripken game worn jersey.
Rawlings did not make Orioles MAJOR LEAGUE BP jerseys with this script pattern. Note the one-button style, lack of jock tag, presence of neck tag, and placement of Rawlings "R" logo on the left sleeve. This would be a Bluefield or Gulf Coast Orioles jersey. Still a nice piece, just about 11X overpriced.

Even if it's real, it's still ugly. Orange and black. Ecchhhh! Looks like Halloween. Who's responsible for dreaming up that hideous color scheme anyway? Does anyone accept the blame for that? GOOD GOD! ! !

I find it innteresting you say its not real or that they dont make jerseys like this, The guy ha a photo of one of the players wearing the same jersey? So he has photo evidence showing this jersey being worn, can you please explain how its not real?

Please re-read my original post. I never said the jersey wasn't real. I said the jersey was not a major league piece, and could not have been worn by Cal Ripken.
The seller has included several photos of Orioles players wearing black mesh jerseys. No argument there. However, what you can't see in those photos is that the MAJOR LEAGUE Orioles jerseys were made by Majestic, did not have neck tags, and had two-button plackets, not one-button. From these photos, you couldn't really tell if these players were wearing jerseys or t-shirts.
What the seller has is a MINOR LEAGUE jersey.
