A friend of mine recently showed me his 50's era Milwaukee Braves flannel jersey which he's owned for probably 30-40 years. Great jersey, but we're having trouble narrowing down the year and player.

It is a size 44 jersey and has the manufacture tag in the collar “College Athletic Supply Co. Milwaukee”. No other team markings anywhere... Cream-colored, Zip-up front... It doesn't have the Braves Indian head logo stitched on the sleeve though, any idea what year this was added (it does not appear to have been removed either)? I've seen late-50's Wilson Milwaukee Braves jerseys that have that logo, but can't find an example of something earlier.

We're hoping the year can narrow down the player, the jersey is #4.

Any help appreciated!
