Japanese baseball jersey

2 Attachment(s)

Haven�t posted anything in a while but I recently picked up this jersey
I�m not familiar with Asian baseball but I loved its old school look and the
Arm patch KAC crane not really even sure if it�s Japan may be Korean
If anyone has any information to share I would sure appreciate!
Thanks for looking!

No information

But I agree I love the old school look to it

And sharp colors

Where did you find this? Any idea of the year?

I just did a little bit of research, and this is all I could find. "Nichi bei" means "Japanese-American," and there's a KAC baseball league in Hawaii. So it's possible that the jersey is from a team of Japanese-Americans who played in that Hawaiian league. Can't say for sure, but it's a reasonable guess based on the info.

Thank you Steve , a Japanese friend of mine told me about nichibei and what it meant Japanese/American she Did not know anything about the team. But the Hawaii thing makes sense now. I believe the jersey is 1950s era by its look and cut maybe early sixties. It�s a cool piece though and proud to own it now.
