Ken Oberkfell’s Home Jersey: A Piece of Braves History
The Ken Oberkfell home jersey is a remarkable artifact from the storied history of the Atlanta Braves. This jersey, crafted with precision and care, features the “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag in the back collar, indicating a size 46 with detailed wash instructions. The front left tail proudly displays the “85” embroidered strip tag, marking the year of its origin.
Across the front of the jersey, the word “BRAVES” is emblazoned in blue on white tackle twill, accentuated by red stitching. This iconic design is mirrored in the player number “24,” which appears both below the team name and on the back. The player name “OBERKFELL” is elegantly displayed on a white nameplate on the back, crafted in blue tackle twill. This jersey is a testament to the era and the player, showcasing game-use with no alterations, preserving its authenticity and historical value.
Vinny Castilla’s “Turn-Back-The-Clock” Jersey: A Nod to the Past
The Vinny Castilla “Turn-Back-The-Clock” jersey is a unique piece that celebrates the rich heritage of baseball. On the front left tail, the “Mitchell & Ness Cooperstown Collection” manufacturer’s tag is prominently featured, accompanied by the “TBC JULY 2002” and “1974” embroidered felt strip tags. This jersey, with its additional “Mitchell & Ness” tag in the collar and size “2XL” flag tag, is a tribute to the classic style of the 1974 Braves.
The front of the jersey is adorned with “BRAVES” in white on red on white tackle twill, a striking design that captures the essence of the era.
