    Help Identifying a Rawlings "Orlando" Baseball Jersey

    Can anyone help me identify what this jersey is? It came in a large collection I bought and it could be a game used jersey, such as collegiate or minor leagues, as the collection featured many game used items.

    Here are six pictures:

    Orlando, Florida is my second hometown. I don't know the team, so I am curious. Can't be from a college. Minor league teams from the era of this tagging are: Twins, Sun Rays and Cubs. The Orlando Juice was O-Town's Senior League team, but they used orange and blue.
    I can't figure out that "star" logo.

    Yes, it is an Orlando Sun Rays jersey circa 1990-1992. I saw them play my hometown Birmingham Barons many times in these jerseys during that period.

    Orlando was a member of the Southern League (Class AA) during the 1980s as a Twins farm team and were nicknamed the Twins before being renamed the Sun Rays around 1990. The Cubs became the parent club in 1993 and changed the nickname to the Cubs along with the uniform style.

    Always looking for World Football League and Atlanta Falcons game-worn jerseys, and any Willie McGee and Darren Lewis game-used items.

    I was thrown off because I associate the Sun Rays to wearing aqua and pink. They changed to your style and colors in 1992.

    Wow everyone! Thanks a ton.

    Next project is to figure out who wore #1 in 1990-1992.

    Pretty odd jersey to find in this collection, as most jerseys were of ML baseball and NBA basketball players, but I'm sure with some more homework I'll figure more out.

    I listed the jersey for sale on eBay. It can be found here if anyone is interested in bidding:

    I couldn't figure out who #1 was in 1992, so I listed it as an unknown game used player, coach or team issued jersey.

    I also included a shout out to the forum for helping me identify the jersey's background.
