This absolutely stunning complete uniform comes with jersey, pants, and pair of red, white and blue leggings. Jersey is a road gray with extremely thick two-layers of felt "Veracruz" across the chest in two-toned blue & black. Best of all is a "Blues" fish, the team mascot patch, in chenille on the shoulder. A gorgeous two-tiered 3D felt "5" is on the verso as well, tagged "Inedo Sports" (Deportes) size 44 in the collar. Pants are also tagged (size 40) by this top-flight Mexican equipment firm. This was worn by Hernandez during the 1944 season, where he batted an extremely respectable .305 in the Mexican League. This uniform is ten times more beautiful than most major league baseball uniforms.
