Today's post features the first true 2016 card added to the PC of the former MVP. It's a jersey relic Scouting Report, not serially numbered.
What's odd about this card though is the jersey relic used. The Pirates don't have pinstripe uniforms and when they have worn alternate uniforms in the past for Negro League heritage games, they generally wear the Crawfords uniforms which are red and white not grey and purple.
A few of the Starling Marte relics feature the same pinstripe so I am extremely curious what this could be from. If anyone can correctly identify the uniform that this could be from, I will send the winner a care package prize.

ReplyDeleteI think that Topps got caught here. It looks more like a Brewers or Rockies throwback.
ReplyDeleteThe 1912 Pirates had pinstripes similar to that, but the Crawford Grays have another uniform with similar colors

ReplyDeleteIsn't it from those Crawfords throwbacks they wore in 2012 against the Tigers.
Today, teams have pink on their uniforms, I wonder if they have done something similar in years past for maybe father's day or a simar ocassion, only with blue instead of pink.
