Inclusive green cap hat tip to @sportslogonet for tweeting this one out.
Right, right. Yeah, because the jersey I would really want is a mid-’70s, Dave Kingman Mets jersey, because he was my first favorite baseball player.
I would love to be able to do that for people. It’s a conversation that we have had and continue to have because on our website we get a lot of requests: “This was my dad’s favorite player. Is there any way I can get that jersey made?”
The other issue with that is getting the rights from the players, because of course this person has to get their royalty. They all make money from the sales of their jerseys, so when it’s a one-off player the process of signing a deal with the player is a pretty elaborate thing. There’s a couple challenges there.
