Ebbets Field Flannels…the end of an Era and a New Begining

Great photo Chris. Yes, I was definitely surprised by the colors of the uniform as having only seen black and white photos as well. To this day, I’m amazed that Jerry picked this jersey and cap to make. The caps sold out quickly, the jerseys were still available in Dec of 2024. They had a lot of stock at that time and it all didn’t sell. I wonder where it all went?
Again, great photo….I have an album of Rosebud items( some shown above), very hard to find. And btw, they were the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodger farm team at that time……hence the blue.

Definitely devastated by this news. I was wondering what in the hell happened to their website as I couldn’t find anything of old. I wish I would have known this and would have loaded up on duplicate items and other things to wear over the coming years. I always got compliments on their things as I would wear a lot of their Grays clothing to Pirates games. I heavily promoted that company to people at the ballpark whenever I was asked where I got certain things. I could never walk downtown Pittsburgh without someone asking or making a comment about their products. They were huge hits. I loved EFF.

The new site is junk. Sad to see the company go. They had incredible items before. Negro league, Japan, Latin America, etc etc etc

Yes Ryan……I sensed something was up during the 20% fall sale.

And now to respond to Jerry’s recent post.
You always treated me as a singular customer and through the years , help me fulfill many dream projects, like my grandfather’s 1920’s Mill team CALPINE jersey from the mines of N California.
I will correct the LIDS post, I had read that LIDS owned EFF , and I guess I was right about that, but not the “how” of it all. For that I apologize. As I’ve stated several times in this thread, I'm going to keep an eye on the new EFF and hope they hear the comments of the old customer base. I never for a moment thought you would go on with this forever….things change. I’m just disappointed they didn’t continue more of your vision. My post was primarily more of a retrospective of what was and praise for you. If you took it another way, I’m sorry for that. As for people being disappointed in the current situation, they are the customers, they spend the money. But as far as you and your wonderful Seattle team, I would believe all hold you in the highest regard, especially for all the joy and actual fun you brought to the baseball experience. I don’t like the new products thus far but I’m willing to see what happens. And thank you for briefly filling the gap in the cardigans that Mitchell-Ness used to produce. Love the teams you picked to do it with as well. All the best to you.

JJ: My post was more a general comment on this thread. I did not take any of your comments personally at all, and I appreciate the kind words. In the past it has always been my policy to try to be responsive to customer questions or even complaints, so in that spirit I posted here. Thanks.
