Seattle Mariners 1977-80 Wool Shawl Collar Sweater- Blue / Yellow

REPLICA ON-FIELD BASEBALL SWEATERS JUST LIKE HOW THEY WORE IT

History: Seattle was granted an American League expansion franchise in 1977 to compensate them for the loss of the Pilots in 1970. The M’s adopted the royal blue and gold color scheme of the departed Pilots and moved into the brand-new Kingdome south of downtown, sharing the facility with the NFL’s new Seahawks franchise. The M’s finished 64-98, exactly replicating the Pilots’ record from their only season. M’s fans would have to wait until 1995 to see the team win its first division title.

When we released our first collection of shawl-collar MLB sweaters, we were delighted with the response. Of course, one common reaction was “Where’s my team?” Of course, as the shawl collar sweaters were worn on-field only into the early 1930s, our original selections were limited to the original sixteen clubs. But what if newer teams wore these sweaters? We created new designs to include expansion teams like the New York Mets and Los Angeles Angels, relocated teams like the Oakland Athletics and Baltimore Orioles, and updates to original teams like the Cubs and Giants.

These alpaca/wool blend sweaters are made to the same exacting specifications as the ones from the early 20th century. They feature thick buttons and sewn felt chest emblems. Perfect for that off-season cold weather, sitting by the fireplace, and those early Spring Training games.
