The jersey was listed as an Atlanta Braves 1971 road flannel of Pat Jarvis that had been handed down to the minor leagues. It is the same style as worn by the Atlanta Braves; however it has incorrect Spalding tags and most likely was manufactured for minor league use and never saw use in Atlanta. Atlanta flannels carried the standard blue rectangle Spalding tags that one sees regularly on Atlanta Braves road flannels.

The white Spalding tag is not from a MLB jersey.
The blue Spalding tag is correct for the period.

With all due respect, hiram, I have to disagree.

I have seen the collar strip tag design on at least one other Spalding 1971 Braves MLB flannel. Rhe white Spalding tag is something I've also viewed on later-issued Spalding gamers (1971 flannels and 1972 knits). Personally if I were offered this jersey at a price I liked I would buy it.
