dennisjames71 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hey All, I've been looking for a a week and a half and I cannot find the "Rainiers" wordmark for the throwback uniforms that the Seattle Mariners wore last month. The quality of the ones I have found are not usable since I'm trying to make MVP Baseball uniforms of this set. Does anyone have access to this wordmark or a good quality one? The "Rainiers" text is also slightly different than the 1950s script they used back in that era. Here is a photo of this years version of the throwbacks: Thanks everyone.

dennisjames71 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 You know, that may be workable if I can straighten the letters horizontally. It's definitely better quality than anything else I have found. Thank you tebjr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I have purchased authentic jerseys from a website called ebbets.com they have photos of authentic flannels from that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisjames71 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 I have purchased authentic jerseys from a website called ebbets.com they have photos of authentic flannels from that era. Yes, thank you and I love ebbets.com. I have bought 2 jerseys from them in the past year and their quality is excellent. The problem I am having is that the 2012 throwbacks are based on the 1955 jersey's wordmark which had a very slight curve/arch in the lettering. The 2012 versions pretty much has the "ainiers" part of the text go straight all the way across. This photo shows a 1955 jersey and it seems to be the closest to the modern version; but the problem is that it is useless (for making the uniform): I know I am being super-picky but I want to make them look as authentic as possible. I wish the Mariners would just release the jersey for sale online so that we can get a good quality pic or if they would just put out the darn wordmark logo so that Chris Creamer's site can post it. It's not a big deal; it may just have to go on hiatus. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I bought 2 Padres jerseys home and away. What did you get? I have some more photos of Westgate for you taken from postcards that I purchased on ebay. I apologize for the poor quality. I basically took the photos with my cheap digital. In case you ever decide. By the way it was funny after you made the away Padres jersey for me Ebbets sent me an email with that same jersey for sale at a reduced price for a limited time 129.00, normally 189.00. They had never offered it before. Ironic isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisjames71 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hey those are some good pics of Westgate park, I might be able to use them. Yeah, that's funny how the 1967-68 Padres uniforms shows up on the site AFTER I get them done for you. So, last year I bought the 1953 Seattle Rainiers jersey and the 1945 KC Monarchs jersey with Jackie Robinson's #5 on the back. The Rainiers jersey was on a sale for only $89 at the time. I want to get that 1951 Padres jersey, hopefully soon...Over $200 after shipping is kinda steep though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks-Yes that is high. I wait until they have their special price reduction. Those 2 jerseys you mentioned are some of the better ones I've seen on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
