    Re: Question for Baseball Uniform Experts

    A team using different home and road uniform suppliers wasn't uncommon during the 1960s though I don't know why. Among the other dual supplied teams in the 1960s were the Expos, Pirates, Braves, Reds, Colt .45s/Astros, Dodgers, Padres, Giants, Orioles, Indians, Tigers, Yankees, Senators, Angels, White Sox, Twins, and Pilots. Some were for one or two years while others were for the entire decade or close to it, but it did happen.

    Perhaps one supplier could not do both a home and a road in time? They kept two suppliers into the 1970s.

    Any thoughts?
