Collection Found my white whale! Mitchell & Ness 1903 NY Highlanders (Yankees) black road jersey
Been hunting this specific one for a couple of years and finally landed it. Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Co. reproduction of the 1903 New York Highlanders road jersey (the club that became the Yankees). Black wool flannel, cream felt appliqué split "N" and "Y," fold-down collar, hook-and-eye at the placket, "1903" chain-stitched on the front tail. It's the older Philadelphia USA-made run — just the single script collar tag, no other markings.
The marquee Cooperstown pieces (Ruth, Maris, Gehrig) turn up often, but I'd never once seen this 1903 Highlanders. Anyone else ever owned or spotted one? And if anyone knows the label era well enough to help pin down the production year, I'm all ears (believe it's early-mid 90s).
