Late 70's / early 80's White Sox jersey question
I just bought a 1980 blue White Sox jersey and it appears that there was name plate sewn over the front of the jersey (covering CHICAGO) and on the back over the original name of the player. Can any White Sox fan enlighten me? My guess it was sent down to the minors and altered to fit the needs of the minor league team, then, the minor league alterations were removed, thus restoring the jersey back to it's original form.
Another question; if that's what happened, can this jersey be deemed 100% original and unaltered?

That was common practice for the low budget White Sox. The jersey was probably sent to Glens Falls or Knoxville and a plate was sewn on the front and over the NOB.
As for your second question, it's 100% original in my book, but I'm sure others will disagree.
Which player did you get?Mike

If the number hasn't been changed, I would consider it all original under the circumstances you note....What player are we talking about?

Can the plates be removed to reveal the CHICAGO lettering underneath?
