Item Description:
Vintage 1950s–60s Dodgers Flannel Jersey – Empire Sporting Goods – Union Made USA
This is a beautiful, rare piece of Dodgers and baseball history. Made by Empire Sporting Goods in New York and union made in the USA (RN 32921), this jersey is constructed from 100% cotton flannel and features the classic Dodgers script in rich blue felt across the chest. It’s styled with raglan sleeves and blue piping, staying true to the mid-century Dodgers look.
The jersey is tagged Large and is blank on the back—suggesting it was likely a high-end retail, practice, or team-issued piece rather than a game-worn uniform. It has all the signs of quality American craftsmanship from the flannel era.
Condition:
This jersey is in very good vintage condition. There is light yellowing around the edges, which is consistent with its age. I chose not to wash it to maintain its original condition and authenticity—many collectors prefer garments like this untouched. The felt lettering is fully intact, the fabric is solid, and the stitching is strong throughout. No holes, tears, or major flaws.
