Presented is a colorful New York Mets road jersey from the early 1970s, a sample road knit shirt bearing Gil Hodges No. 14 without attribution to the Hall of Famer. The jersey has the seven-button grey-knit front, with the distinctive blue collar and button-path piping. The famed New York Mets team disc patch appears on the left sleeve, with Hodge’s No. 14 front and back. Wilson Size 44 labeling appears at the collar, with no adjacent strip tag indicating player number and year; it is thought that any usage of the shirt came after Hodge’s untimely death just before opening day of the 1972 season.
