New York Black Yankees 1942 Authentic Wool Home Baseball Jersey

AN EXACT REPLICA OF THE JERSEY WORN BY THE 1942 NEW YORK BLACK YANKEES

History: The New York Black Yankees started as an independent team in 1932. They barnstormed in those first years, sometimes playing doubleheaders in different states on successive days. They joined the Negro National League in 1936. In the 40s, they played home games at Yankee Stadium when the American League Yankees were on the road.

This jersey is a meticulously-crafted reproduction of the uniform the Black Yankees wore in 1942. Hall of Famer Satchel Paige appeared in a publicity shot in Yankee Stadium in this Black Yankees uniform, but it is unknown if he actually pitched a game for the team. Through reverent research, we replicate period-correct materials, lettering, sleeve patches and trim to craft a tribute to those that came before us, the best way we know how.

In partnership with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM), we are proud to offer this authentic wool flannel jersey. A portion of proceeds from this product will support the NLBM in Kansas City. For more information about the museum, visit www.nlbm.com
