Putting aside the insanity of cutting apart a Jackie jersey, this is from a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey as the comments made clear.

Brooklyn Dodgers . . . Los Angeles Dodgers . . .who really cares . . . .

Like all other vintage Jackie Robinson items , his Los Angeles Dodgers memorabilia is reaching stratospheric heights. Speaking of which , his former home , overlooking the Chavez Ravine , a major geological feature , is on the market.

Although unlikey, it's possible this was an aftermarket "patch swap" where a scammer will replace a relatively drab jersey piece with a more pizzazzy jersey piece. There are a bunch of threads on blowout about it, but mainly those are modern football (NFL Shields/team logos) and basketball (Logomen/team logos).

Does it make anybody else feel better they didn't actually cut up a Jackie jersey for this particular scheme?

who cares

There is a possibility that should be considered (as BS as this whole thing is).

Did Jackie Robinson ever don that type of LA Dodgers uniform in an old-timer's game or such out in Los Angeles? Or some sort of appearance during a game or event after the move westward? That could give the patch plausible deniability with regards to it being an outright fraud.

I must admit I've never understood the whole "game used" relic/patch thing... Used by whom and in which game?

I would think in that case (and thinking it would have been in L.A.) the jersey would have had Dodgers on the front, not Los Angeles which would be a road jersey.

Agree with the logic, of course, but I'm trying to see if the uniform could have somehow possibly been (I frickin' doubt it!) legitimately worn by Jackie Robinson in some sort of game. Another term for this would be 'grasping at straws.'
