1961 Sandy Koufax Game-Worn Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey

After examination, the 100% Team is unable to conclusively authenticate this flannel as a 1961 Sandy Koufax Game-Used jersey.

The following factors determined our opinion.

Current Jersey Mftg. Label

1. 1960 was last year they had the “HOF Rawlings label.”  The “HOF” Tagging would be consistent with the 1960 era and NOT the 1961 era.

1961 Rawlings Label

2. The Embroidered name “Koufax” and date “1961” on tail would then therefore, not be consistent with the “HOF Rawlings” tagging that is affixed above the embroidered name and date.

3.  “Dodgers” font on front is inconsistent  with this “era” font.  Although there were some variations of the fatter “Dodgers” font and some photo styles may suggest this font possibly could have been used during the 1961 era, the inconsistencies of the tagging make the possibility irrelevant.

4.  Flannel feeland wear seem stiffer and newer for a flannel of this era.

Red Felt Numbers on front:  4 3/4″ h. Correct.   Chest measures: 22 inches  &   Jersey Length: 33 inches

Blue Felt Number on back measures  “3” = 7 1/4 H  “2” = 7 1/2 H– Variations are normal.
