I believe that this Collins image is from 1902 or 1903.
I am sure that Bruce can correct me if I am wrong, but weren't Boston's "B A" uniforms a one year style? I thought it was 1902 or possibly 1903.
Cy Young's 1909 E90-1 card is based off his famous Horner cabinet. It is interesting to note, that the "B As" on their 1902 uniforms were actually blue in color, but the American Caramel company took some liberties and changed them to red to create a very striking card.
Graig Kreindler's phenomenal painting shows the accurate colors from the day.
