St. Louis 1915/16 Uniform question?

I'm not convinced it's a Federal League uniform at all. Looks like a Browns uniform, although admittedly it is blurry.

Agreed; it appears to be the St. Louis Browns home uniform 1911-1914.

I guess I'll have to look at the original and see why the museum thinks it is from a Federal League game.

Does anyone know if the background matches the stands from Sportsman's Park at that time?

Unquestionably photographed at the Polo Grounds.

The Browns' road uniform had "ST. LOUIS" across the chest, not the SL logo. The 1914 Terriers of the Federal League had an StL logo on their road uniforms, but the uniforms were pinstriped (including the caps), and the Polo Grounds did not host Federal League games. I think the photo has to be at Sportsman's Park, unless it is at a spring training facility.

For another look at that logo, I've attached below an image of the Browns' Mike Balenti:

Sorry, I meant the original photo from jjbond is of him at the Polo Grounds. Definitely the Browns.
