The Iconic Jersey: Baseball x Fashion explores the baseball jersey as an entry point into 170 years of baseball uniforms. Featuring over thirty-five historic and contemporary jerseys and baseball-inspired fashion, this catalogue traces the development, experimentation, and dissemination of the iconic American-style baseball shirt in the sport, on the runway, and in everyday life. This groundbreaking volume--the first solely devoted to the baseball jersey in an artistic context--examines wider sociological issues: why do we care about so much about sports attire, and what do such clothes mean to us and the wider world?
Traces the design and aesthetics of the iconic baseball jersey both on and off the baseball field.
