Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Thursday, April 10, 2008
This repository comes in particularly handy when, as occasionally happens, someone sends Ebbets a black-and-white photograph with a note that says something like, “This photo shows my grandfather wearing his minor league uniform in 1932. Can you make a reproduction of the jersey?” Incredibly, Cohen welcomes these one-off custom jobs. If the team in question is already represented in his files, that makes it easier; if it’s not, he’ll do the necessary research (calling local historical societies, checking with the Hall of Fame, etc.) to make sure the colors, fabrics, and so on are as accurate as possible.

Cohen used to refuse to render older designs in polyester, but these days he's more willing to intermingle organic graphics with synthetic fibers, even though he thinks most of the anti-flannel bias -- especially the notion that flannels are too heavy for warm-weather games -- is unfounded.
"Look, if it's hot outside, it's hot," he says. "You normally wear a form-fitting polyester uniform that doesn't breathe -- you think that's not hot?"
Is he right about this?
That doesn't seem that incredible to me. A one-off job that requires extra research seems like the sort of thing that would appeal to someone in this business.
Polyester doesn't breathe, no.
