GU Pants Team Repairs?

[matt]

Anyone ever buy GU pants that have team repairs on them?

I am a bit mystified, as I bought these Youk pants with massive team repairs. They have MLB holo, good tagging with nice chain stitching, but there are huge repairs on the knee, ankle and seat. As far as I can tell, the players never play with repaired pants. I guess Youk trashed these and then they washed them and repaired them as you can see. Then they sold them to Steiner. Why did they repair them???

I am considering trying a photomatch on what game he trashed the pants (7/4/2008 is a candidate) by looking at big stains and rips. Am I wasting my time. Anyone here a pants expert?? Any idea what the "OB" means on the stitching?

Thanks,
Matt
