MLB warm-up jackets from the 60s thru the 80s

by theFalcon - 101 cards (Last updated on Nov 19, 2020)



21. 1976 SSPC #157 Terry Forster


From this set, a couple of guys on the ChiSox were wearing plain red windbreakers, but I picked the guy who was wearing a REAL team jacket ... I want my list to have class!


25. 1963 Cincinnati Reds Postcards #NNO Richard Rohde


This jacket logo has a 50s look to it, but maybe it was still in use during the 60s.


26. 1972 Topps #99 Ross Grimsley


Script lettering before the Reds became boring with block letters.


27. 1976 Topps #211 Clay Carroll


As I said, boring.


28. 1976 SSPC #42 Ed Armbrister


Logos are usually superior to block letters.


30. 1991 Swell Baseball Greats #22 Alvin Dark


This pic was at Yankee Stadium in 1968 or 1969.

Great list!  I always liked this model sported by Dock Ellis.  The script and number on the bottom of the sleeve are nice touches.

Fun list. Hard to pick a favorite.

Thanks for those various Cardinals ... I'll add some of them where I see a subtle difference.  They seem to have the same logo, but with different collars and cuffs.  I won't add the one from 1962 ... no logo, although it's possible that none of their jackets had logos in 1962.

I won't add the Jeff Leonard one for the Mariners ... the logo is so small that I'm not what it is.  As an aside, the styling of that jacket is butt ugly.  I've seen better examples for the Mariners and will add them later.

Yes, the 1978 Montanez is a good one, especially with the 100-year NL anniversary patch so prominent in 1976.

Hard to think of too many, if any, other teams that affixed their special season uniform patch on everything the way the Mets did with their Silver Anniversary season of 1986

Thanks for the leads on the KC A's and NY Mets.  Struck out trying to find a good one for the Red Sox from '60s in the regular issue cards ... maybe there's one in the tribute/reprint cards.

Milwaukee Braves
I had to do a little research.  The photo used is from the Baseball Hall of Fame collection and is of Warren Spahn in September 1960.

Thanks for the suggested Cubs above.  Tried to find a Cubs jacket from the 1960s, but no luck so far.

Thanks for lead on Greg Thayer, a total unknown to me ... doesn't have a Topps card.
