Distinctive Features and Authenticity
The front left tail of the jersey proudly displays a “TIM McAULIFFE” manufacturer’s tag, a hallmark of quality and authenticity. Adjacent to this tag, you’ll find a “‘61” year swatch and a size “46” swatch, confirming its origins from the 1961 season. Across the chest, the iconic “RED SOX” lettering is emblazoned, while the player number “15” graces the back. These elements are rendered in striking red on navy blue felt, sewn directly onto the off-white flannel fabric, embodying the classic aesthetic of the time.
Notably, the outline of a previous number is visible, indicating a historical number change.
