On Louisville Slugger bats, what year did the team name on the barrell replace LOUISVILLE SLUGGER under the players name? Thank you.

According to Bird Bats, LVS started including team name in 1991.

In 1990 there was nothing under the players name, then in 1991 the team name was added.

Is there a TPX logo & mlb players logo on the back of the barrel?

If not? It would be from the 1991-97 period or a 1998. It is hard to tell what centerbrand u have from the pic.

In 1998 the centerbrand was reduced in size....

Pretty sure it is a 1991-97 period bat, seeing the "i" in Louisville is under & between the 2 & 5 in 125.

Starting in 1998 the "i" was under the 1.

First order of P72 occurred on 5/20/94.

The other variable is the way Jeters name is written, whether block letter or signed. I was surprised to find out that Jeter has had a contract with LVS only since 1999. so the range is 1994-1997 if no tpx logo or mlb players logo on the back of the barrel.

But better to hear from a Jeter collector or Brian or MikeS.

No logo on the back of the barrell..."i" of Louisville is under and between the 2 and the 5.

Then 1994-1997. In 1998, the "i" was between the 1 and the 2.

Any use on the bat? Was wondering if it was a promo bat. A Jeter collector would better know.
