1999 Smoltz home jersey with MLB logo on back of shirt

[cardking]

There is a 1999 braves home John Smoltz jersey I have a chance to pick up but a little concerned about a missing patch. The shirt does not have the Hank Aaron 715 patch on the sleeve and it also has the MLB logo on the back of the neck. I thought that they did not add this logo until the 2000 season. any information would be helpful.

The removal of the patch, and the addition of the MLB logo indicates usage in 2000 spring training. The logo was added to all preseason jerseys in 2000, and was introduced then, not opening day.
