New pickup: A true original. Peter Capolino , former owner of Mitchell & Ness, still makes old school sweaters (no Mitchell & Ness tagging, but it's the same production with the same lady making the product). So my original creation is this 1913 New York Yankees sweater! 1913 was the first year the Yankees were known as the Yankees after their name change from the New York Highlanders, back in the days when they played at the Polo Grounds. I don't expect this to be a 1 of 1 forever but it is the first remake of it's kind.
I've attached a colorized picture of the team wearing the sweater (there's at least 3 different versions being worn in the same year, they really didn't give a crap back then lol), and a picture of a super rare original that was sold at auction a couple of years back.
