Shannon: It looks like Rusty is wearing a “snow white” jersey in his bobble head form. This seems to be a blunder, right?
Hmm. I hadn’t looked that closely. Perhaps it’s an old style road jersey pullover.
It looks like he’s wearing #10…so with the piping, the only thing it could possibly be that Rusty ever wore is a 1975 Road button front. From 1972-1974, Rusty wore #4…in 1975 he switched to #10 and the Mets wore a road jersey that said METS and had the blue piping. He was traded after 1975. When he returned from 1981-85, the Mets wore nothing similar.The jersey would have to be gray to be the 1975 Road.
Clearly the Mets designed a 1975 road Bobblehead. There is no other explanation. Let’s just go with that and smile knowingly.
