Is this a real Pirates Jersey tag from Clemente?
Isnt this tag from after Mr Clemente had passed away? There is some rumblings on a few message boards that this may be fake? What do you guys think?

My records show 1974-77.
Does anyone believe they cut up a Clemente?

I'm pretty certain that Rawlings made all the knits during Clemente's era, plus like btph said that's a 74-77 tag.

Ksfarmboy is correct...the first Wilson knits used by Pittsburgh were in 1975, well after Clemente's passing. Warren is aslo right in dating the design of this tag's beginning of general use to 1974.
Looks like the card companies got skunked again. That's what they get for cutting up items for profit!

The 1975-76 Pirates knits by Wilson were road grey only.
