Pete Rose #27
 

Any ideas why Pete Rose is wearing #27 in this Jay's Publishing photo? I can't find any other information on the internet about him ever wearing this uniform. Did he wear #27 in spring training before switching to #14? Did he misplace his uniform for a day? Thanks.

I believe that was a spring training uniform during his rookie year. Here are photos with uniform numbers 27 and 11.

Very interesting. Thanks. Do you know which uniform style is older, the #11 or #27?

I am really not sure which one is the older jersey. Sorry.

Pete wore 11 in Geneva in 1961 and in 62 with Macon Peaches he wore 27 in spring training 1963. Then switched to 14 when made the team not 100% on the whys believe his father wore 11 when he played football is what comes to mind couldn't explain the others.
