Bagwell WS Jersey - 2009 Grey Flannel

Re: Bagwell WS Jersey - 2009 Grey Flannel

Thanks for the info, Scott. This is very helpful and seems different from what Dave says that the White Sox did to their WS jerseys. The Astros did the right thing IMO.

I don't think my beloved White Sox were trying to defraud anyone - They had extra jerseys and extra patches so they added them to the jerseys as they knew true fans would want jerseys with such patches as the patches are quite unique.

Us die hards find such behavior wrong, but a retail store for a ball team adding patches isn't such a big deal.

You make a good point, Joel. I had never thought of it like that before or considered the interests of fans who would want the patches on the sleeve. Nor was I trying to imply that the Sox were defrauding people.

Personally, I don't have a problem if teams add patches with the expectation of actually using them during the WS, and then the World Series only goes four games, like it did in 2005.

As a big collector, though, I just find it artificial to add patches just for the novelty factor. It would actually decrease my chances of buying a jersey if I learned that they were sewn on after the fact. JMO.

They should have labeled them as having the patches added, but I doubt they did.

The Rockies did the same thing in 2007/08. You couldn't find an 'authentic' jersey in the Dug Out stores that didn't have the 2007 WS Patch attached.

They did not add them to Gamers though. Just Retail Authentics.
