Spalding Tagging
Jim,
Great post. I'm all ears (and I mean that). As I said in my response to your recent email, I have heard that about the SF tags before ....as well as B & C etc. I have never seen anything from the manufacturer or contemporary source to confirm this. I have also always felt, that if you want to be considered as a smart person in any particular area, you have to willing to admit you are not always the smartest person in the room (referring to myself here as not the smartest person in the room).
That being said, what I have always struggled with, from a practical standpoint, is then what does the "S" code mean, and in this same vein, might it then not have been more practical for Spalding to have produced the Dodgers uniforms in Brooklyn (B code vs S) or the Cubs in Chicago (C code vs S).
In addition to this, in looking at other manufacturer fabric sample catalogs (Rawlings, Wilson, Goldsmith), they tend to use a letter designation as it relates to a quality or type of fabric.
