Late 1930's Milwaukee Brewers Game Worn Uniform
<B>Late 1930's Milwaukee Brewers Game Worn Uniform.</B></I> Duly proud of its sudsy claim to fame, Milwaukee has utilized the nickname "Brewers" for local ballclubs dating back to the turn of the century. Here we find a full uniform from the American Association farm club of the Cleveland Indians that bore the time-tested title, one of the earliest Brewers representations known. Red and blue felt spells "Milwaukee" in elegant block-lettered text across the chest, with a midnight navy number "2" taking up residence on verso. The jersey is tagged in the collar with "Wilson size 36" and local "Burghardt Athletic Goods" labels, as are the matching pants. An embroidered swatch affixed to the jersey's tail reads "Stiles," most likely the short-tenured St. Louis Browns pitcher of the early 1930's Rollie Stiles. Pants have similar swatch reading "Fieber" or something similar. A degree of damage to the jersey's chest and back must be noted, though it still displays quite nicely despite these flaws. When paired with the pants (which remain in fine condition) and the included two pairs of socks (though we believe only the red and navy pair matches), it will make an impressive sight. <I>LOA from Lou Lampson.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Clothing, Costumes & Jerseys (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
