MLB Rear Collar Logo Patches
What year did MLB teams begin wearing the small MLB logo patches on the rear collars of their jerseys? Thanks.

I believe MLB teams began wearing the MLB logo on the back of the jersey collars in 2000.

Scratch that...
Quick eBay search for Game Used jerseys from various years shows 2000 as being the 1st year the 'swing man' logo appeared on the neck of the jerseys.
As far as hats, 1992 was the 1st year the 'swing man' logo appeared on the back.

There are also some 1999 jerseys that were recycled for 2000 usage that have the Swing Man logo. Plus, teams that ordered special jerseys for newcomers in 2000 spring training (such as Cubs home jerseys) had the logo. Finally, while present on all 2001 MLB gamers, the Swing Man was covered up by the US flag patch added to jerseys that were worn after 9/11.

As an addendum to this, in 1994 - along with the 125th Anniversary swing man patch on the sleeve of MLB jerseys - there was a Bronze 125th Anniversary Swing Man pin that was made to be attached and worn OVER the existing swing man logo on MLB hats.
I own two GU hats from 1994 with these pins - an Eric Young (Sr) that I got from you Dave and a Sparky Anderson that I bought directly from Tigers Authentics some years back.
