They were definitely not normal jerseys. I remember making Majors and loving the soft flannel jerseys and pants. They made us feel like real ball players finally.

So now you are saying you wore artificial silk jerseys on the field. That is essentially what rayon is. I'm still having a hard time imagining how the numbers were put on with a hot iron and not scorch the fabric.
