Listing of Lou Lampson Mistakes

Re: Listing of Lou Lampson Mistakes

Wilson, Skinner, and Butwin manufactured the Dodger jackets I have seen from the mid to late 50's, with Butwin also appearing in the early to mid 60's. I believe Goodman started doing the jackets in the lates 60's.

Look at the script on the "o", the tail of the "g" and the "s".

Totally different jackets and script.

Team,

The "o" lower case "d" "g" and "s' are different. Also the pocket trim is different between the color and B&W photo. The B&W photo looks like a Wilson jacket as it has the leather circular trim around the pocket. The color photo has a straight trim on the pocket.

Sammy,
The style of the "Dodger" script on jackets did change occasionally, and no one is claiming that there is a photo of Koufax wearing the AMI jacket. The one constant in Dodger lettering was that the "D" and "o" were always attached, whether on a flannel or jacket. While the photo that BTPH posted may be inconclusive in this regard (given the angle that the photo was taken), I would like to see a photo from Lou Lampson showing the Dodgers ever used that style script. Seems to me you should have some type of proof to back up an authentication. This should be even more critical given the lack of any tagging on the jacket.
