Steve Avery’s 1990 Atlanta Braves Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Artifact from a Legendary Team

The Atlanta Braves have long been a cornerstone of Major League Baseball, and the 1990 season marked a significant milestone as the team celebrated its 25th season in Atlanta. Among the players who donned the Braves’ colors during this memorable year was Steve Avery, a pitcher whose contributions to the team were invaluable. We are proud to present a remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia—Steve Avery’s game-worn jersey from the 1990 season.

Details of the Jersey

This exquisite jersey is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined the era. On the front left tail, a “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions is prominently displayed, accompanied by two flag tags reading “42” and “CZ.” Below these tags, a “90” strip tag signifies the year of use. Across the chest, the word “Braves” is emblazoned in red on navy blue tackle twill, proudly positioned above the team’s iconic tomahawk logo.

On the back, the player name “AVERY” is elegantly stitched in blue tackle twill on a white nameplate, with the player number “42” below in red on navy blue tackle twill. The left sleeve features a commemorative patch celebrating the “ATLANTA Braves 25th season 1966 1990,” adding a layer of historical significance to this already extraordinary piece.

Signatures and Inscriptions

Adding to the jersey’s allure are two signatures from Steve Avery himself. He has signed the jersey below the “Braves” logo on the front and between “AVERY” and the player number “42” on the back. The inscription “BEST WISHES, 1991” accompanies the signature, both rendered in black marker. In our expert opinion, these signatures rate a 6-7, enhancing the jersey’s value and appeal.
