Any thoughts on this jersey???

[xpress34]

Chris,

This jersey does not look a thing like the Mets 78-82 pullovers, or anything the Mets have ever worn on field for that matter.

Scott (dcrules) posted an example of the home and road jerseys from 78-82 and yours looks nothing like either of them.

Furthermore, I do not believe that any of the Mets minor league affiliates have ever worn something that looks like this either.

The seller probably has the jersey of some amateur team.

The "real deal" (as he put it) it is not.

Not an argument, just a comment. All I said was it was similar in style - which it is, a 1-2 button grey pullover.

2nd, it's not mine - that's why I asked for thoughts. I wrote the guy back with the findings here and he wrote me back with:

Sorry- it's all news to me. I'm not a collector.

Which I found humorous after his post about it being the 'Real Deal'.

So do any of you have any thoughts about my Yankees jersey (which IS mine) or info on Goodman's dealings with the Yankees? Game Jerseys? Retail? etc.

All the best -

One other thing... the reason I was asking about the 'Mets' jersey possibly being RETAIL is because I was wondering if Goodman did any 'retail' jerseys that were not 'spec' (trim, etc) much like Majestic makes 'retail' jerseys today that are not 'spec' to team jerseys - i.e. NO color edge on names and numbers, etc.

I wasn't sure if Goodman's was involved in that type of practice or not.

For example... here is my GU 1997 Larry Walker Jersey



And this is a Majestic 'retail' (not mine) from the same time period:



Looks nothing like mine as far as numbering/lettering colors, but it IS still a Rockies 'retail' jersey.

Chris,

I was not referring to retail lettering, which is an entirely different animal altogether.

The "Mets" logo itself was nothing that I have ever seen on any professional (major league, minor league) jersey. The rest of the characteristics of the jersey were just icing on the cake.

The interlocking NY is not the Yankees NY. Looks like something used in a baseball movie where they didnt have permission to use the Yankees logo.

Xpress the Majestic you have is a replica that is why the lettering is different. You can get a Walker Russell customized with the patch by EPS. BTW sweet jersey I have often thought about buying every mlb team from the 97 season with the Jackie patch..But I have to save my money

DC -

The Majestic isn't mine - just a sample I was using as to how different some Replica jerseys are from the real deal depending on the manufacturer.

I knew the Mets jersey wasn't a gamer, just trying to find out if Goodman' made replicas for them and if so, isn't it possible that they did just like Majestic, Nike, Stitches, etc and did their own 'take' on the Mets jerseys of the time?

I guess that's what I'm confused as to people saying it's not a replica (I'm not saying it's an Authentic or anything) unless they know for a fact that Goodman NEVER made any 'one off' type Replica jerseys - again, like Majestic, Nike, etc...

As far as the Walker Russel - that one is mine. GU by Larry in his MVP season, signed and inscribed. Unfortunately, I can't find any good pics to photomatch it... I've seen some close, but as far as I've been told by Rockies insiders, Walker burned through quite a few jerseys his years here and at that time, there was only ONE home white, not three different jerseys to choose from, so I'm sure he had plenty of these which makes finding a photomatch like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Like I said, I only have $10 into it, but it is better quality than many GU jerseys I've owned over the years.

I'd actually find that kind of cool if I could connect it to a movie...
