Most of the Washington players who were on the team in 1888 were photographed wearing a shirt with the W on the pocket, as seen on the Hoy cards. Players who only joined the team in 1889 were photographed wearing a shirt with the W in the middle, as seen on the Spider Clark and Hi Ebright cards. Hoy's cards were almost certainly produced in 1888. (Hoy did not play for Washington in 1887, and the uniforms were different that year from both the 1888 and 1889 uniforms.)
