Need Some Help/ Info on Pirates Jersey in 1973

I know there are a lot of Pittsburgh fans out there and any help would be appreciated. I have been trying to search for pictures or info
on the 1973 jerseys and have found nothing. I am curious if anyone remembers the grey jersey, with Clemente 21 patch, if the colors
of the neck and the stripes on the sleeve were black, white, and ?orange?. I have seen pictures of the 70's white jersey and the third
color is obviously gold but I was wondering if the orange was some kind of tribute jersey?
Thanks
Jeff

    There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in.
  • I'm sure Upper Deck has chopped Clemente's gamers into little strips to be used in baseball cards.image

  • The Pirates to the best of my knowledge never wore orange.
    The 70's were known for white black and gold, but never orange

    This was the ebay link if you can not open my attempted link above. Maybe the colors are just skewed in the picture.

    Links have to be online somewhere and in picture format. What you posted was a path to a zip file on your local hard drive, which doesn't help us much image

    I would suggest posting this same question over at www.nextleveltalk.com. That's a jersey collector forum that I belong to and there are a ton of super-knowledgeable people on there.

    Ah, I see the problem now. The jersey you're looking at is a bootleg and not accurate. The giveaway is the size - 54. Mitchell & Ness doesn't make baseball jerseys in size 54 - 48, 52 ,56? Yes. 54? No. There's lots of other stuff wrong with that jersey as well.

    So don't go wondering the color of 1973 jerseys based on that auction image
