Thanks Jonathan and to everyone that replied. I'm in agreement with about everything said, however, I don't agree with being able to find a 1901 team photo of the Athletics showing them in the straight A uniform. I have been searching on-line everywhere and cannot find one. I did view the uniform section on the Hall of Fame site and it simply shows a drawing of the uniform, with description. There are numerous photos showing the 1902 uniform, but not the 1901. The HoF site shows the uniform with the A on the front left breast, and nothing on the sleeve and describes the Home as white and the Away as Grey.

If you have, or anyone has, a team photo of the 1901 team - please post it.

If it is simply a HS, college, or sponsored team - they sure are outfitted pretty well. Maybe they're trying to duplicate the Athletics team, but that doesn't explain why a member is wearing a White Sox or other team uniform.

I bought the photo because it interested me as I thought it was pretty cool, not to resell and try to make a fortune.

The majority have convinced me it's not the 1901 Athletics, and if later on down the road I discover who the team is I will certainly post my findings.

Once again, thanks to everyone.
