Perhaps someone can shed some additional light. Along these lines, please be sure to check out the latest TSOG segment, which features Mariner's defunct Caps... it covers every style leading up to the present.

Was able to get a hold of the Guy who took the photo and confirmed by his original negative file that it was taken Spring training 1988. Pretty cool. Also contacted the society of american baseball research who also said it was 1988
