A JERSEY HONORING THE BARNSTORMING JACKIE ROBINSON ALL-STARS
History: On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson stepped onto Ebbets Field for his first game with the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking the MLB “color line” as the first black player to play in the league. Jackie’s example of character, dignity, and toughness continues to inspire us today. While playing for the Dodgers’ affiliate in Montreal, Robinson formed the Jackie Robinson All-Stars, a collection of minor and major leaguers who toured around the country, giving fans a chance to see their heroes up close and personal.
Staying true to the designs of the era, this jersey features period-correct lettering and logos. It’s crafted with a lightweight twill that retains the hard-wearing durability of vintage wool jerseys but easier to wear and easier to wash.

In 1958, the Dodgers fractured more than a borough. They fractured tradition. And in doing so, reshaped the map of Major League Baseball forever.
This isn’t just a sweater. It’s a stitched reminder of the season when baseball boarded a train, rode west under heavy skies, and played in a football stadium that didn’t yet know the sound of summer.

“It was like a death in the family,” one fan wrote in the Brooklyn Eagle.
Leaving Brooklyn
Walter O’Malley had seen the future. Brooklyn — as much as it loved its Dodgers — couldn’t build it.
Ebbets Field was aging, boxed in by blocks that wouldn’t budge. So O’Malley did the unthinkable: He moved the team west.
“It was like a death in the family,” one fan wrote in the Brooklyn Eagle. “They didn’t just leave — they vanished.”
The Dodgers were the first Major League team to play west of St. Louis. When they arrived in Los Angeles, they weren’t just newcomers. They were pioneers — carrying the weight of an entire league’s expansion with them.
Don Drysdale, mid-delivery and all menace — the 6'5" right-hander who made the mound in L.A. feel like a firing line. Circa 1965, but still throwing heat from 1958.
1958 in Los Angeles
T
giants, it was no ballpark. The left field fence sat just 250 feet from home plate — so close they installed a 40-foot screen to contain fly balls.
And yet, on April 18, 1958, 78,672 fans filled the stadium. They watched as the Dodgers beat their new rivals, the San Francisco Giants, 6–5. It was awkward, historic, and loud. The Dodgers had arrived.
The Season That Didn’t Care About Expectations
1958 wasn’t a championship year. They finished 7th in the National League. Duke Snider’s power waned. Gil Hodges was fading. But something was happening beneath the surface.
Sandy Koufax, still wild and raw, started showing flashes. Don Drysdale threw with anger and sun-soaked velocity. The team was becoming something new. And Los Angeles — slowly — was learning to care.

The Sweater That Saw It All
This shawl collar sweater isn’t a replica. It’s a memory — heavy, woolen, and designed like what players and coaches wore on cold April mornings and long train rides through western hills.

• Felt “Dodgers” script in classic blue
• Shawl collar design used in authentic 1950s warm-ups
• Made in the USA
• Licensed by Major League Baseball, crafted by Ebbets Field Flannels
Legacy in Stitching
In 1959, they’d win it all. But this sweater? It remembers 1958. The awkward in-between. The road games. The doubters. The players who wore Brooklyn on their backs and California on their sleeves.
This is what it looked like to break from tradition without breaking character.
Final Call
Wear it like you were there — in the coliseum seats, scorecard on your lap, wool collar pulled tight against the early spring wind.
