Re: Chicago White Sox 1976-1981 "collared" jersey question

Eric,

Thanks for the photos... but there is one thing I see in them that I am a little confused by -- they both look like they are made of a mesh. I have seen the mesh jerseys as well as the solid polyester. Mine is in fact a very heavy weight solid polyester.
With the understanding that Rawlings did only the 1976s and the 1977s, did Rawlings make a solid polyester and a mesh for the blue road jersey in either of those 2 years? Everything on my jersey looks right except the material type. The lettering & tagging is identical.

I have 3 1976 jerseys I can photograph tonight. The manufacturer is Rawlings.

Eric,

I recently picked one up, and I wanted to determine
1. is it a legitimate game jersey (hoping that I didn't get stuck with a retail dud) -- then again, I paid what a retail would be worth, so I took very little risk.
2. It is a Rawlings Blue Road jersey -- so I suppose by the others' posts, I have either a 1976 or 1977. If any of your 76's are blue, can you photo that one? No need to photo all of them.

Thank you
Nick

1976-77 Rawlings
1978-81 Capital Ace

The Capital Ace jerseys came with year tags, but the printed info tended to wash off. Doh.

Capital Ace was also a manufacturer of the "softball style" White Sox jerseys worn during the Bill Veeck era.

Does anyone out there know who manufactured these unusual style jerseys and what the tagging looked like?

If anyone should happen to have one of these in their collection, would it be any trouble to photograph the manufacturer tags??

Alternatively, if you should know of a site out there that would already have photos of a tagged jersey, could you point me in that direction???

Many thanks,
Nick
