This ain't kosher

Howard Wolf saw this on eBay, and sent it along to me, with his observation, which I am in agreement with.

The jersey:





The jersey:

Advertised (inaccurately) as a game-worn Lou Piniella manager's jersey

The problem:

How does an MLB gamer have a Russell logo on the sleeve, and an AIS tag in the tail?

The answer:

It ain't kosher!

So, none of these logos are found on the jersey?

Dave, I'm betting you are kidding but those symbols are all used by food manufacturers to signify their food has passed rabbinical spervision and is Kosher. Joel was being clever.

I had no idea what they were either. I was thinking minor league patches

Dave/Howard,

AIS (aka SportsRobe) is the premier manufacturer of jerseys/uniforms to be worn in motion pictures. I have a jersey that is very similar to this one you have referenced -- it is also a gray Seattle Mariners jersey with the AIS tagging -- mine however also comes with a letter of authenticity stating that it was worn in the 1994 film "Little Big League" -- by Ken Griffey Jr. I can check my jersey later tonight to see if it also has a "Russell" patch on the sleeve. I am speculating that because Russell was the official supplier of MLB uniforms, there was a clause in the contract that any jersey featuring a MLB logo at the time must also have a Russell logo on it? (this part is just my guess)

That's the Little Big League jersey. I was considering the Griffey one on eBay, but passed and it was identical to the one pictured.

And here is a link to the full cast of the movie "Little Big League" -- which includes Lou Piniella...

If I recall Junior and Randy Johnson opted to wear their own gamers for the movie as they both have the traditional all blue RA sleeve logo.
