Hello all. Does anyone know if the San Francisco Giants used a company called California Athletic to manufacture their jerseys during the late 70's/early 80's? Any help is much appreciated.

The Giants game jerseys were mostly Wilson from 1976-86, with Alpha making 1 1981 game style and some 1980s BPs. Sand-Knit and Wilson were also BP suppliers pre-1987. I wonder if California Athletic might have been a local company that did lettering and numbering, a la Koch's in Cincinnati or Cosby in NY/NJ? One of our Giants specialists such as Lon Lewis or Marichal27 would know the answer to that, and their input is welcomed.

california athletic made some of their minor league shirts that had stripe tagging on the bottom tail and the shirt looked similar to the big club...
