San Francisco Giants x Willie Mays [1961-1969]


Since I was reckless and ruined my old New York Giants uniform, I replaced it with this San Francisco Giants Willie Mays jersey.

My jersey guy was able to customize this really well. The letters and numbers are embroidered in two layered orange and black tackle twill. The font of the digits is based on pics of game worn jerseys I gathered online.


Furthermore, I'm a lot more stoked with this specific jersey because it's an official product - not a costume, and it goes perfectly well with this fitted.

NL Rookie of the Year [1951]
2× NL MVP [1954, 1965]

"I didn't say I was that smart, I said I went to class and I enjoyed what I was doing." - Willie Mays
