Presented to us as game-used, this jersey offers a glimpse into the storied past of the Minnesota Twins and the illustrious career of the player who donned it.

Details and Features

The jersey is a classic representation of mid-20th-century baseball attire, featuring the iconic “Spalding” manufacturer’s tag on the left front tail, which has been meticulously restored. Below this, the inscription “Set 2 Allison 4 46 65” is embroidered in navy blue chain stitch, adding a touch of authenticity and historical significance. Inside the rear collar, a felt strip tag with “Allison” embroidered in navy blue chain stitch further cements its provenance.

Across the front, the bold “Twins” lettering captures the spirit of the team, while the player number “4” graces the back, albeit having been moved. All numbers and letters are crafted in navy on red tackle twill, a hallmark of the era’s design. The left sleeve proudly displays the team patch, a symbol of pride and identity for the Minnesota Twins.
