Last week, we began a community vote to determine the best jersey in Oakland A’s history. We started with a bracket of 16 designs from the last half-century, and now we’ve cut that list down to eight.
Here’s how the first round played out:
- Modern home whites DEF 1968 white vest over green sleeves (final tally: 73-3)
- 1970s stripes w/ A’s logo DEF 1980s stripes w/ Oakland print (46-24)
- Modern gold alts DEF 1970s gold pullover (58-22)
- 1970s gold vest w/ green sleeves DEF 1970s monochrome w/ gold sleeves (47-21)
- Modern green top w/ Athletics script DEF 1970s green pullover (38-37)
- Modern green top w/ yellow piping DEF Player’s weekend w/ gold sleeves (66-5)
- New kelly greens DEF Modern road grays (58-24)
- Black tops 2000 w/ green script DEF Black tops 2008-10 w/ white script (48-16)
The biggest landslide was in favor of the modern home whites, which are a longtime classic and still beautiful.
