Vintage Baseball Jerseys

Curious if anyone has any inspo for styling vintage baseball jerseys. I really like the idea of a lot of the ebbets ones, but I have no real idea as to how I would style. I feel like there's a very fine line between cool and corny with these (as with all sports jerseys). I would rather not look like Zack Hample.

goated not helpful but goated I don't even know that I consider those to be vintage because they were designed to look futuristic

I’ve been eyeing those ebbets jerseys and having similar thoughts. I haven’t thought it through too much, but I feel like they don’t lend themselves super easily to fitting into a particular style niche. I think the way to go is to think of them as like a summer cardigan to be worn open, and focus on making the pants and shoes more interesting to signal that you’re not just a sporty guy wearing a game day jersey.
SpicyOcelot
SpicyOcelot11mo ago
This obviously is not a jersey, but I think you could sub in a baseball jersey in place of the cardigan and it would look cool
artvandelayimporting
yeah this from @charlie is the closest thing I have to an actually functioning outfit with one of them
artvandelayimporting
the issue for me though comes with the short sleeves bc that makes it harder to throw over an ocbd but yeah I agree that it definitely needs to be worn open
SpicyOcelot
SpicyOcelot11mo ago
Yeah that’s sick. I think the ocbd would be tough, I think you gotta go graphic t or just plain t and then focus on the other details I’m boring though
artvandelayimporting
Other thing I’ve considered is tucked and halfway buttoned
artvandelayimporting
Similar to what I do here but again part of what I feel like makes this outfit work for me is the rolled sleeves which you lose with a jersey *I posted the outtake where my hair is completely fucked but whatever

I feel like the pants have a lot of interest and slouchiness, and you could get some of the same slouchiness if you buttoned like the middle 3 buttons of the jersey

Sad that EFF got bought by lids. Quality went down
artvandelayimporting
true what I really need to do is go to rosebowl and find a truly vintage one for like $30 and just give it a go the biggest hangup for me with ebbets is price rather not pay $235 for something I'm not even sure will work for me
artvandelayimporting
I've had this from @himbilbibli saved as inspo for a while now too
artvandelayimporting
not even remotely a jersey but the stripes on the shirt are reminiscent so good

Fit is kind of all over the place but I liked the look under this denim jacket.
artvandelayimporting
this is neat leaning hard into americana might be the way to go type-1 + fatigues + canvas hi-tops

idk why i've never tried baseball jersey under denim jacket ig they always feel like an outer layer to me
SpicyOcelot
SpicyOcelot11mo ago
Fwiw I think maybe leather shoes like Joel did adds something. Like some chunky docs or derbies could take you out of normie jersey wearer territory
artvandelayimporting
for sure
artvandelayimporting
was just looking at this @digdug04 fit again and I think a pinstriped jersey tucked in and half unbuttoned would be sick

my takeaway is that maximalism is the way to go with these the more pieces you pair it with, the less you look like you're on the way to the game
casey
