Re: For sure a team issue but is it a Larry walker?
I can only speak from experience as I have not seen rockies gamers with a neck tag.
Also I know Walker wore a 48 and 50 with Colorado. With customizations.
One more thing the R in Walker should not have material between the middle. Something I have not seen before.

Re: For sure a team issue but is it a Larry walker?
I'd read in this forum something about the Rockies being the only team to keep neck tags on early Russell jerseys so I thought maybe that would explain team issue buttons on a retail jersey...I suspect the name was added to a team issue as I'm pretty sure gamers don't have the thick lettering like this, but was hoping a Rockies expert could advise.

Didn't some Blue Jays jerseys have the neck tags as well? I'm pretty sure one of mine does.

Yes they did. If I remember it was a couple years with Wilson as the supplier.

Yeah I was always under the impression every single Russell that had a neck tag was retail until I read about the Rockies odd way of handling things. Any Rockies jersey experts out there?

Re: For sure a team issue but is it a Larry walker?
While I'm not specifically giving a yea or nay on this Walker jersey, I do know that in 1993, a large number of Rockies team-issued jerseys with retail-style collar tags did see use. The fancy buttons were a part of the mix. Ball Park Heroes got a lot of these from the Rockies in a mid-1990s bulk buy. However, the BPH items (retail or pro tagging) came with team-issued LOAs. I'll try to research the jersey specs themselves in a few hours and post my findings.
