Re: Any thoughts on this jersey???
It looks like a mix between a Mets and Dodgers jersey, something the Wilpons would have thought of.

Re: Any thoughts on this jersey???
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.

Thanks for the update. I never knew the Rangers used Goodman jerseys (I grew up in Dallas) as a team at any point.
My introduction to Goodman's was as a Nolan Ryan Collector. I do know that when Nolan joined the Angels he started wearing Goodman's exclusively for his Game Day jerseys.
If you scour through pictures of him pitching in OFFICIAL (not Spring Training / Exhibition Games) MLB games since he joined the Angels, you will notice there are no Wilson, Rawlings, Russell, etc labeling on his jersey sleeves.
There are some Rangers pics of him pitching in his home white where you can see the Rawlings name or the Russell R on the sleeve, but if you look in the back ground, you will see Palm Trees. Obviously at Port Charlotte, FL during ST as Arlington Stadium never had any Pal Trees in the background, just blue padding!
I would LOVE to own one of Nolan's Final Season (1993) Goodman's. He had them make him 36 (estimating 30 something starts) - 18 Home and 18 Road and they are each hand numbered in the tail tagging. Even if it was 18/18 and 'Game Issued' (since his Final Season ended early due to injury) I wouldn't care.
All the best -

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.
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.
All the best -

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.

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
Looking for Doug Flynn and Joel Youngblood items.NY Mets jerseys 78-82
