1981 Willie Hernandez Chicago Cubs Game-Used Pinstripe Road Jersey

Chicago Cubs 1981 Game-Worn Jersey: A Tribute to Baseball Heritage

A Glimpse into the Past

Step back in time to the era of classic baseball with this exquisite 1981 Chicago Cubs jersey. This remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia is a testament to the rich history and enduring legacy of America’s favorite pastime. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this jersey embodies the spirit of the game and the storied tradition of the Chicago Cubs.

Distinctive Features and Authenticity

On the front left tail, a blue swatch proudly displays the year “81,” embroidered in elegant blue chain-stitching. This detail not only signifies the jersey’s vintage but also its authenticity as a game-worn artifact. Inside, below the rear collar, resides a “Wilson” size “42” manufacturer’s tag, complete with washing instructions, a hallmark of quality and craftsmanship. Below this, a blue strip tag with “81 1” embroidered in blue chain-stitching further attests to its provenance.

Across the chest, the iconic “CHICAGO” is emblazoned, while the player number “38” graces both the front and back of the jersey. The player name “HERNANDEZ” is restored, adding to the jersey’s historical significance. All numbering and lettering are executed in blue tackle twill, sewn directly onto the light blue pinstriped fabric, a nod to the classic aesthetics of the era.

Symbol of Team Pride

The left sleeve proudly bears the team’s logo disc patch, intricately embroidered, symbolizing the pride and passion of the Chicago Cubs. This jersey is not just a piece of clothing; it is a symbol of team spirit and a cherished relic of baseball history.

Why This Jersey Stands Out

• Authenticity: Presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use, ensuring its place as a true collector’s item.
• Craftsmanship: Features exquisite detailing, from the blue chain-stitching to the tackle twill lettering.
• Team Legacy: Represents the Chicago Cubs, a team with a rich and storied history in Major League Baseball.
