Birmingham Black Barons 1940 Authentic All Wool Varsity Jacket

AUTHENTIC REMAKE OF THE 1940 BBB TEAM JACKET

History:  The Birmingham Black Barons joined the original Negro National League in 1928. After that circuit’s demise they became charter members of the Negro American League. In 1948 they defeated the Monarchs for the pennant with a 15 year-old Willie Mays in the outfield.

Before Mays joined the team, they had some success of their own. We paid homage to that team with this reproduction of their on-field gear, complete with the authentic wool body and felt lettering.

In partnership with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM), we are proud to offer this authentic wool & leather varsity jacket. A portion of proceeds from this product will support the NLBM in Kansas City. For more information about the museum, visit www.nlbm.com
