Yankees possible photo match????
Ok, I just picked up this Sergio Mitre "Game Issued" Yankees World Series jersey. I opened the package and noticed that the tag showed use and jersey felt softer than my other game issued jerseys. Looking at getty images, the jersey seems to match up to a couple of games in August. Here are some pics, what do you guys think?

There's a very good chance that the jersey saw use during the season and was an extra for the World Series.

its hard to tell, but it looks like my jersey and the getty images both have a pinstripe running along the edge of the patch.

Here are a few larger pix I found...Based on the patch, you can tell this one was worn as it takes quite a few washings for the patch to fold/curl like that. If you look at a 2009 Yankee jersey, you can tell a lot about how long it was worn by looking at the patch on the sleeve.

Have you happen to find any pictures of Mitre wearing a home jersey during the World Series?

I couldnt find any pics. He didnt have any post season appearances. Originally Posted by LastingsMilledge85

Re: Yankees possible photo match????
I didn't want to start another thread since my question pertains to photo-matching Yankees jerseys as it's quite easier to photo-match home jerseys with the alignment of pinstripes but what about the road jerseys? how many of you have been able to match a Yankees road jersey and what distinguishing features do you look for? loose threads, wear but since the Yankees go through so many jerseys a season and they show light use how are you able to photo-match a road jersey?
