Atlanta Black Crackers 1940 Authentic Home Jersey
$326.00 CAD
WOOL HOME JERSEY HONORING THE 1940 ATLANTA BLACK CRACKERS
History: The Atlanta Black Crackers built their reputation through perseverance in the ever-changing world of Black baseball. In 1938, they won the Negro American League’s second-half championship, only for their title series against the Memphis Red Sox to end without a declared champion. Financial troubles sent the team to Indianapolis in 1939, where it played as the ABCs. In a photograph captioned “Atlanta Black Crackers, 1940,” players wear a mix of jerseys marked “Atlanta” and “ABC” — a striking glimpse of a scrappy franchise in transition, and a reminder that Black baseball history rarely fit neatly into the record books.
Made with authentic wool baseball flannel with felt appliqué lettering, this is a reproduction of the road jersey worn by the 1940 Atlanta Black Crackers.
