Ebbets Field Flannels Pittsburgh Pirates 1945 Authentic Wool & Leather Varsity Jacket

RARE REPLICA OF THE ROYAL BLUE PITTSBURGH PIRATES TEAM JACKET

History: The Bucs in blue? Better believe it. Pittsburgh did not adopt their now-familiar black-and-gold color scheme until 1948. Manager Frankie Frisch led Pittsburgh to a respectable 82-72 record. 1945 was a war year, so all teams in professional baseball suffered manpower shortages. But pitcher Preacher Roe and third baseman Bob Elliott were among the Pirates who had standout seasons. Virgin wool jacket with crème leather sleeves and embroidered Pirate patch on chest.
