AN EXACT REPLICA OF THE 1946 ROYALS ROAD JERSEY, WORN BY JACKIE ROBINSON
History: On April 18, 1946, Jackie Robinson––wearing this shirt––stepped onto the field for the Montreal Royals at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, NJ, against the Jersey City Giants and became the first player in modern history to break Organized Baseball's unwritten "color line." Robinson (#9) went on to lead the International League in batting average and fielding percentage, and was promoted to Brooklyn the following season.
We used period-correct materials, lettering, sleeve patches and trim to craft a tribute to Robinson, a man who changed the game during his one explosive season with the Royals.
