A true throwback, this gray, road jersey is 100 percent original and exquisite, in flawless condition yet displaying nice use. It was donned by Rich Nye during the 1968 season, with "CHICAGO" across the front in blue on red tackle twill, and "32" on back in same colors and material. A Cubby patch is on the left sleeve and a rare Illinois Sesquicentennial patch is on the right sleeve. It must be noted again that this is 100% original - "32-68-2-44" is sewn in a swatch in the collar with Wilson size 44 and 1968 Set 2 tagging on the front tail. There is a small stain near one of the middle buttons, but it does not at all diminish from the NRMT look of this vintage top.
