Mark McGwire’s 1990 Oakland Athletics Jersey: A Rare Gem

A Unique Piece of Baseball History

Step into the world of baseball memorabilia with this extraordinary 1990 Oakland Athletics jersey, worn by none other than the legendary Mark McGwire. This jersey is not just a piece of fabric; it is a testament to McGwire’s prowess and the rich history of the Athletics. The jersey features the iconic “Athletics” across the chest and the player number “25” on both the front and back, all crafted in green on yellow tackle twill. The player name “McGWIRE” is emblazoned across the back in green tackle twill on a white nameplate, adding to its authenticity and charm.

Distinctive Features and Historical Significance

What sets this jersey apart is its unique characteristics. The lowercase “c” in “McGWIRE” is positioned at the baseline, a deviation from the usual placement near the top of the nameplate. Additionally, the team name on the front sits unusually high, just below the first button. This distinctive placement can be seen on the 1990 Mother’s Cookies Oakland Athletics cards, suggesting that this jersey may have been part of that iconic photo shoot. Beyond its potential use in the photo shoot, the jersey was presented to us as game-used and, in our opinion, shows appropriate use.

• Manufacturer’s Details: The jersey features a “Rawlings” size “50” tag with washing instructions, a “SET 1 1990” flag tag, and a “1 INCH EXTRA LENGTH” flag tag.
• Team and Player Identification: “Athletics” and “25” in green on yellow tackle twill, with “McGWIRE” on a white nameplate.
• Unique Design Elements: The unusual placement of the team name and the lowercase “c” in “McGWIRE”.
