Default Help With 1920's Detroit Tigers Jersey-

Posted By: Mark

Brock:

The Uniform Database Link (that you posted above) is taken straight from Okkonen's Book. Click on that link and you will see the following...

Both the Home and Away Jerseys from 1929 are shown to have the blue piping around the collar and down the sides of the buttons.

The 1930 Tigers Jerseys appear to have no such piping (either Home or Away).

If the 1929 Halper example had NO piping as you say, then 3 things are possible....

1. It was not really from 1929
2. The piping was removed, or came off over time (which does happen)
3. Okkonen mistakenly illustrated the 1929 Uniforms to have the Piping.

Okkonen has said that his illustrations are based on extensive photographs which have been archived year by year. But there have been a few subtle discrepancies pointed out since the book was published around a decade ago.
