Any Help IDing This?
Hi guys,
George has been out buying, and came across a few things that we can't ID. Anyone here know anything about this item?

This is going to possibly sound weird, but can you post close up (macro, if capable) photos of the buttons, buttons holes and stitching around the collar? I might be useless on identifying the team, but I might be able to help with dating the item.

Looks like we have pants too. They have a label, says College Outfitter.

Looks to be 1910s to 1920s era... I'm guessing the team played somewhere in Massachusetts, or maybe a neighboring state. In those days, teams usually ordered uniforms from a nearby supplier, in this case Boston.
I'm guessing Minor League or college because of the nice quality of the uniform. Unfortunately these simple styles are very tough to match, especially with the lack of photos taken back then. It's definitely a quality uniform and I love me some Kruk Cards!

Brine tag helps a lot on the pants, actually. I'd say mid- to late-20s, based upon the tag and the stitching patterns.
The jersey does look older, though, based upon the method of button-holing.
