What year is this Negro League Sweater From?
I can not find any comps. Trying to photo match but to no avail.
Any ideas? https://sportscardalbum.com/c/7b9w3r2o.jpg https://sportscardalbum.com/c/73z2lzfa.jpg https://sportscardalbum.com/c/cwt2po36.jpg https://sportscardalbum.com/c/k0hz98rn.jpg https://sportscardalbum.com/c/x6svzlv3.jpg |
1950's New Era Sportswear (not to be confused with New Era Hat CO)
not negro league |
What is the Chet brewer ?? I noticed it's the same stitching as 50's gamers I have seen.

Chet Brewer, the negro league baseball player was first signed to play professional baseball when he was 15 years old. Doubt that he earned a letter sweater. but if you want to research it start here, Since he lived in Des Moines, IA you could match things up here http://www.iahsaa.org/wp-content/upl...ors-Mascot.pdf https://www.loc.gov/maps/?fa=contrib...919&st=gallery |
You said is 50's
In 1952 he managed the porterville comets. The Porterville Comets were the last minor league baseball team that operated out of Porterville, California. They played in the Southwest International League in 1952 and were an all-black baseball team. Could this be a team sweater? Porterville CA teams seem to have purple colors too. Furthermore, is it possible the logo on the 7 is a comet? |

Ok great thanks everyone

What Chris said but also it is a size 42, Chet was 6'4" and weight about 180 or so. A 42 might be a little short.
When you are looking at memorabilia, you need to research everything |
I saw the 42, but I looked at his jerseys and they all seemed short so that part did not bother me really. Who the hell else was named Chet brewer lol

Looks like a 1926 Chet Brewer Monarchs sweater to me. Probably dates to around April 9th to be a little more precise. In that condition it is worth around $15K at least.:)
