1982 SF Giants Jerseys

[sfgiants452]

HI,

I was looking around ebay and saw some giants jerseys from 1982 that were going off and I looked at the manufacturer of the jersey and they were Rawlings or Wilson. The tags were faded but all it said was California Athletic Leagues and I wasn't sure what that was. Is that company or actually a league? Which also brings me to the question, are these major league jerseys or minor league jerseys? Can anyone help?

i'm assuming this is one of the ebay jerseys you're referring to:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120015392906

there is zero chance the ebay jersey is a game-issued/worn 1982 sf giants jersey. the ebay jersey is missing:
- uniform numbers on the front
- a name on the back
- a 25 yr patch on the left sleeve

additionally, the sf giants never used a grey jersey in 1982. they used a home white, black alternate, and orange alternate. all 3 of these jerseys were supplied by wilson. tagging included a manufacturer's tag in the neck and a strip tag in the tail which had the uniform number and the year. the manufacturer and tagging on the ebay jersey isn't consistent with sf giants jerseys in 1982.

i have no idea what the california athletic leagues are. the ebay jersey could be a minor league jersey, college jersey, high school jersey, adult league. perhaps someone with some knowledge of amateur/minor league jerseys can help.

here are some images of 1982 sf giants jerseys:
