Red Sox Jersey Wear

Re: Red Sox Jersey Wear

I could easily see a Red Sox alternate jersey having almost zero wear. Especially from past 2 seasons. They never use them. Maybe 5 games this season tops. If they have a couple sets of these, your looking 2-3 games wear. A pitcher's jersey, who may not even have played in game or bench player's that only see an inning or two........will probally have nothing. Has Schilling even pitched in a game with this jersey? I remember him being one who always picked the white jersey when it was his start at home on Sunday's.

The great argument:

If Curt Schilling put the jersey on his body and sits in the dugout all game, it is still "game used" as he was in the game and ready to play but never was called into the game. Everyone wants each pitcher's jersey to be used in games, but it always doesn't work that way.

mlb.com sells items as game used that were only worn in the dugout. My argument is always simple: If a manager wears a jersey it is game used, so what is the difference from any other player sitting on the bench?

Re: Red Sox Jersey Wear

i believe that if a player wears a jersey during the course of a game, as a member of the team, then that jersey is game-used, regardless of what that player does or doesn't do on the field.

however, that's neither here nor there in this thread. if a player sits on the bench, you most definitely will see wear because the jersey will still be washed after the game. wash wear doesn't only occur on jerseys that saw 9 innings of play. if a player sits in the dugout for 9 innings a game, over 150 games, then their jersey should show great wash wear.

here's an interesting little tale; recently a 1994 Duane Ward road jersey sold on ebay. it showed great wear; the sleeve trim was faded, the tagging was extremely faded and beaten. in 1994, Ward sat out the entire season due to surgery and didn't play a single game. i imagine he spent the season accompanying the team on road trips and attending games in the dugout. regardless of the fact that he didn't play a single inning, his jersey was still washed solely because of the fact that it was worn.

playing in a jersey isn't required for wash wear to be evident. wearing one is.

I'm no expert on jersey wear and I agree about being game used, even if the pitcher didn't get into the game. But would a jersey show much wash wear if it was washed only one time? If they had a couple sets of these and the few times they use them, some may only be washed one or two times.......Also, do most teams wash jerseys before they sell them.
