Re: Primer on Russell Tagging - 1992-2005
The Colorado Rockies are a PRIME example of this. Even jerseys from the SAME year for the Rockies have variances in the strip tags depending on what point in the year the jerseys were made and such.
Speaking of the Rockies - and a VERY interesting point here - ALL Rockies Home White Russell jerseys (Regular or ALT) have unique buttons. Instead of the standard 'pearlescent white', the buttons are Cream colored with Colorado Rockies embossed around the edge.
Does anyone know if any other team did this with their jerseys? As far as I have ever been able to tell, this button thing is unique to the Rockies.

Does anybody know if the Angels used strip tags on 1994 jerseys?

Rockies buttons and tags
I've never seen anyone other than the Rockies use those type of buttons during the Russell era. It was a nice touch by the team.
Also, for 1993 (inaugural season) Rockies gamers, at least 1 set of homes and roads was mad with retail collar size tags, no fabric content tag under the Russell label in the tail, and no strip tag. All were originally accompanied by team LOAs and these sets were bought from the Rockies in the mid-1990s by Ball Park Heroes.

Tag design carryovers are not uncommon on 1990's Russell MLB gamers, and I just bought a doozy. A perfectly good and legit Mike Redmond Marlins road gamer.with a 1992 Russell manufacturer's label. This on a jersey with the MLB logo on the back of the neck, meaning it was worn no earlier than 2000. I'm happy with it, but that's a new record for me for a Russell tag carryover.
