About This File
Here is the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates home uniform set. This set can be used from 1970-1976 with various patches through that time. They wore this uniform when they played the opening game in 3 Rivers Stadium in mid-1970. The jersey had 2-color block numbers on the front and back with no name. They won the NL East in 1970-1972, 1974, and 1975 with this uniform. The road jersey started using varsity numbers in 1975-76.
Some of the members of the 1971 team were Willie Stargell, Richie Hebner, Bob Robertson, Steve Blass, Dave Cash, and Dave Giusti. Willie Stargell and Dock Ellis started the All-Star, and Roberto Clemente and Manny Sanguillen were subs. Dock Ellis gave up the booming homerun to Reggie Jackson and also took the loss. The Pirates beat the Giants in the NLCS and it took them 7 games to beat the Orioles who were the favorites with their 4 20-game winners and great hitting.
Enjoy!
