Clark Griffith uniform ID

rholmes · #1 04-10-2019, 06:44 PM

This undated image of Clark Griffith has Paul Thompson stampings (or rather was glued to board that has Thompson stampings). There is a penciled ID on the back of the print..."Griffith / Manager N.Y. Americans".

Anyone have an argument as to whether this is Griffith in a NY Highlanders uniform (1903-1908) or a Cincinnati uniform (1909-1911)? There are elements that might lead to either conclusion, but the uniform as a whole doesn't fully match up to either team. Of course this could be spring training or a practice day at the park and Griffith could have been wearing an old cap, etc.

hello,

I believe it's a 1907 hat, 1906 pants with a possible letterman jacket.

my 2 cents

Thx, appreciate the input...this actually being a NY image seems likely.

It's 100% NY image! The Reds didn't use that style of hat during the time he was active with the team.

Have fun!

Definitely New York Highlanders and I would say 1904.
