1970 Wayne Twitchell Milwaukee Brewers Game-Used Road Flannel Jersey

The 1970 Milwaukee Brewers Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

From Seattle Pilots to Milwaukee Brewers

In the annals of Major League Baseball, the journey of the Seattle Pilots is a brief yet fascinating chapter. Established in 1969 as an expansion team in the American League, the Pilots’ tenure in Seattle was fleeting. After just one season, the team relocated to Milwaukee, emerging as the Brewers, a name that has since become synonymous with baseball excellence.

A Rare and Authentic Artifact

This extraordinary jersey, a relic from the Brewers’ inaugural season, is a testament to the rich history of the franchise. On the front left tail, it proudly displays a “SPALDING” manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a size “44” flag tag. Below, a tag with washing instructions and a flag tag reading “SET 1 #8P 1970” further authenticate its origin. Above these, the name “Twitchell 70” is meticulously embroidered in green chain-stitching, adding a personal touch to this historic garment.

Design and Craftsmanship

The jersey’s design is a celebration of the Brewers’ identity. Across the chest, the word “BREWERS” is emblazoned in bold yellow on blue tackle twill, a striking contrast that captures the eye. The back features the player number “48,” crafted with the same attention to detail. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use, reflecting its storied past.
