Players wearing unexpected uniform styles

[commando]

This picture was just listed on eBay through the Topps Vault. It shows Padres all-star catcher Benito Santiago wearing a uniform style he supposedly never wore! By the time he was called up by the Padres in late 1986, they had already ditched the yellow color and were using their brown and white uniforms. This pic was apparently taken during spring training in 1984, and is kinda cool if you're a uniform nerd!!! :D

[sox83cubs84]

I remember actually owning a 1984 Padres road unused gamer of Ozzie Guillen (he was swapped to the White Sox over the 1984-85 offseason). He was issued #9 with the Pads.

For pre-1950 enthusiasts, here's Mickey Livingston, a backup catcher in the Show for 10 seasons, nearly all of which were spent with 5 National League teams. He came up with the Washington Senators in 1938, appearing in only 2 games for them.

Nope, it's a game jersey, alright. BP jerseys, with rare exceptions, didn't exist until 1979. This is a McAuliffe gamer. The "WAMPUM" NOB was a nod to Allen's hometwon (Wampum PA).

Two cards in the 1966 Topps set of pitchers readily identified with one team (Mahaffey=Phillies and Friend=Pirates) in spring training photos in their new team's threads. Each one threw in a total of 12 games for their new '66 squads...the only difference was Mahaffey retiring after his late-June release, while Friend hiked across the Big Apple to pitch for the Mets for the remainder of the season after the Yankees cut him loose.

Here's a typical example of two players on the same team wearing different styles of jerseys on field at the same time. Until the early 1980s, these font variations happened more often than many people realize.

No, not a batting practice jersey; they didn't have BP jerseys back then and the players just wore their regular uniforms for BP. However, the A's under Finley did go through a period where they allowed players to put either a nickname, first name or a nickname on their jerseys. I believe Vida Blue had "Vida" on some of his jerseys, and "Blue" on others.

[John in KY]

Bert Campaneris wearing an Oakland Rangers uniform.

Sorry but your photos don't carry through when your posts are quoted. However that is an interesting airbrush on the Bert Campaneris card - they got the cap and the top part of the jersey, but you can see he is wearing a green A's jersey in the real photo.


Check out Mike Ditka wearing this old helmet! I'm pretty sure this style of helmet was outdated by Ditka's rookie season of 1961.

Because Halas was involved with Wilson Sporting Goods a lot of Bears players wore Wilson helmets. Wilson's late 50s/early 60s helmets (MacGregor did this as well) were pretty much the same shape as their old leather helmets but with plastic shells. I've seen photos of Ditka's early years with the Bears and he is wearing that style helmet (but of course with at least a 1-bar facemask).

Back then you also saw a lot of player head shot photos done with helmets without facemasks just to show the player's face. I believe this Ditka photo is one of those.

I agree, players would pose for magazine photos wearing maskless helmets even through the mid-1970s. With that being said, I believe I found a photo of Ditka from his rookie season of 1961. Even without the facemask, the helmet he's wearing seems to be a newer Wilson model.

Good catch - I hadn't seen a good photo from Ditka's rookie year in a while and thought it was the same style. I suppose the one in the Ditka "head shot" was just one they probably kept just as a photo shoot prop - it was likely never worn on-field and they probably kept it (or them if they had a few sizes) around for several years in a box for players to put on for their "glamour shot".

Found this from the New York Times.

As the manager of a team that won only 77 games last season, John McNamara of the Cleveland Indians has been on the lookout for some extra offensive punch this year. Now he thinks he has just the man to provide it: Rod Carew. No, Carew, who played 19 seasons with the Minnesota Twins and the California Angels and batted .328, isn't coming out of retirement. He has been hired by the Indians to teach some young Cleveland players one of his specialties: stealing home. "It's going to be one of our secret weapons," said McNamara.
