AUTHENTIC WOOL JERSEY HONORING THE 1929 HILLDALE TEAM

History:
By 1929, the Eastern Colored League that Ed Bolden had built was gone — collapsed under financial strain. So Bolden did what Bolden did: he started over. He reassembled five of the original ECL franchises and launched a brand-new league, the American Negro League, with Hilldale as the cornerstone. To stock the club, he built the highest-salaried roster in franchise history with four future Hall of Famers on the same team: Oscar Charleston, Martin Dihigo, Biz Mackey, and Judy Johnson. The league lasted one season. The jerseys lasted longer.

Made with authentic wool baseball flannel and felt appliquĂ© lettering, this jersey honors the 1929 Hilldale Giants team, a roster stacked with history-book names.Â
