Dave, what year is that Indians jersey with the big Indian patch on it?

According to Okkonen, it's a one-year style (1928)... but I know there have been exceptions documented in many instances (some probably by Dave G.)

One of these was auctioned recently... but I cannot recall the auction house (on-set of dimentia) and have no time to research. A very rare/beautiful example, none-the-less.

Wow check out that 1928 road Tigers next to the Indians jersey. Has anyone seen one of those with the patch on the back?

Awesome Indians jersey Dave! I've never seen that one before. Great collection as always!

Yeah... that Tigers Jersey must be an absolute killer! Has anyone here ever seen one, or is there any image that exists?

It must be the only jersey with a Mascot patch on the reverse. I cannot even imagine what one of those would realize at auction.

I think you will find that the Boston Braves uniforms c1929-1930 also featured a logo on the back. Much larger version of the Indian head patch typically found on the sleeve.

Sorry to get this back on topic, but that is the exact reason I did not purchase the jersey. I believe it is a number change and although I am FAR from an expert the Carew also has his name stitched in. The numbers are obviously wrong when compared to the Carew. I really wanted this jersey too, but decided to pass because of these things. Maybe Mr Grob could expand on these as I believe him to truely be an expert. I don't know if this detracts heavily or if its just personal preference.
