Some History

We absolutely love this home jersey, especially because of its innovative use of a wide red band around the collar and down the buttoned front. The Indians wore this style of home jersey from 1933-1935, and they were the first team to use this style. Note also how the Indian head logo is now on the left sleeve (where it first appeared in 1929) and has been re-designed since its 1928 debut.

The 1935 Indians were coached by Washingtons pitching legend Walter Johnson, who guided the team to a 3rd place 85-69 finish the season before. But after going 46-48 in the 1935 season, Johnson is relieved of his duties part way through the season. The Indians rebound a bit in the second half, and finish with an 82-71 mark.

It's interesting to note that between 1932 and 1946 the Indians played their games at two facilities. They typically played their weekday games at League Park, their home since 1910. Then on the weekends, they played at the massive new Municipal Stadium. Municipal Stadium, which opened in 1932 and seated over 80,000 fans. Later renamed Cleveland Stadium, it would become the Indians full time home from 1947 to 1993.
