Any thoughts on this jersey???

[xpress34]

1978 -1981 Mets Road Pullover Style (matched style through the HOFs 'dressed to the nines' uniform database)

Looks like a Goodman and Sons neck tag - waiting for more info from the owner - and as far as I know, Goodman never made 'store models', just professional unis.

The 8 matches up with Dan Norman who played for the Mets from '77(?) to '80.

Owner is asking $75. I'm not a Mets fan, but love Goodman jerseys and just another piece you don't see too often.



This is the pic the owner sent me. Just looking for thoughts - or possible interest.

Checked the "dressed to the nines" section. Still never seen a Mets jersey like that. Wrong colors, no trim.

Also, Goodman made retail Dodgers jerseys.

Bad resolution on the computer I was on - just rechecked... missed the trim.

Didn't realize Goodman made 'retail' for the Dodgers, but makes sense being CA based and all.

Any chance you might give me your insight on the Williams/Yawkey Ball i listed in the autos section? I responded to your comment - I didn't intend to insult anyone by simply putting Sammy's name. Is there a rift between you two? I kind of gathered that by another comment someone else made there. I'm just wanting info on the ball.

Thanks!

Here's wht I just got back from the seller:

Its a size 40. Number in back is a larger blue 8. Label is McGoodman & Sons. Its the real deal.

So, what do you make of it? Other than the trim, the only Mets style it matches is the 78-81 pullovers. A 'retail' Mets jersey?

Thanks for the other info!

All the best -

It may be a minor league or industrial league or some sort of junior league. Regardless of the unfamiliar style, the colors were never worn by the New York Mets.

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.
