In 1887 the club jumped to the National League. Between 1887 and 1890 they were referred to as both the Alleghenys and the Innocents, but we believe the official nickname was always the Alleghenys. In 1891 Lou Bierbauer, a star player of that era, was lured away from the Philadelphia Phillies. The move gave Pittsburgh instant credibility and a new team nickname was born in 1891 - the Pirates.\u003cnewparagraph\u003e1909 was the first season that the Pirates played in their wonderful new stadium, Forbes Field, and they finished first in the National league with a stunning record of 110-42. They initiated their new home with a World Series against the Detroit Tigers (this was the Pirates 2nd appearance in the World Series, having lost their first to the Boston Pilgrims [now Red Sox] in 1903).\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe World Series pitted the Tigers Ty Cobb, who had just won his 3rd straight American League batting title, against the Pirates Honus Wagner, who had just won his 4th straight National League batting title. It was a great Series that saw Pittsburgh win the first game, only to have the Tigers tie it, then go up 2 games to 1, only to have the Tigers tie it, then 3-2 for the Pirates, then the Tigers tied it again at 3 apiece.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eBut in game 7, the Pirates left no doubt as they roared to an 8-0 victory and their first World Series Championship. Between the two future Hall of Famers, Wagner came out on top with a batting average of .333 vs. Cobbs .231 average. But the hero of the Series wasn't a slugger at all, it was Pirates pitcher Babe Adams, who gave up only 6 hits in each of the three games he started, completing and winning them all, (in the 7th and deciding game in Detroit, he threw a shutout).\u003cnewparagraph\u003eOne of the stars of the 1909 Pirates was the incomparable Honus Wagner, also known as The Flying Dutchman. Wagner joined the Pirates in 1900, and in his first season he led the NL with a .381 average, 45 doubles with 22 triples. He would go on to have 14 consecutive seasons of hitting .300 or better. Over his 18 seasons with the Pirates, he would lead the league in batting average 8 times, doubles 7 times, RBI 4 times and stolen bases 5 times. He would retire with a lifetime .327 average, and among the top 10 all time in at-bats, hits, doubles, triples and stolen bases.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe most expensive baseball card in the world is a Honus Wagner card we wish it was solely because of his skill as a ballplayer, but there's a bit more to the story. In the early years of the 20th century, baseball cards (and other types of cards) used to be given away in packages of cigarettes. That was all well and good, but Honus Wagner didn't smoke and didn't want to do anything to encourage smoking, so when he learned that his image was being used on a card being given away in cigarette packages, he demanded that his card be removed. The company in question complied with his wished, but not before a small number of cards had already gone into circulation. There are only a handful of these cards known to exist today perhaps 18? - and because of their rarity, the mint condition Honus Wagner cards fetch enormous prices. Wayne Gretzky and his then team owner Bruce McNall jointly purchased one of these rare gems for almost a half a million dollars.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAs for the 1909 jersey pictured here, has P.B.C. on the sleeve which stands for Pittsburgh Baseball Club. This is a pullover style home jersey with a full collar - even though the jersey has four buttons down the front, this is still a pullover style jersey that had to be pulled over the head this was common in jerseys throughout baseball at this time. We believe the first major league team to wear a completely buttoned front jersey (ie one that didn't have to be pulled over the head) was the 1909 Phillies, followed by the 1911 Cubs. The pullover style jersey finally disappeared after the 1939 season (the Athletics were the last team to wear it), but of course pullovers resurfaced in a big way with the double knit era of the 70's and 80's.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAlso, notice that the pants have a center belt loop, which was designed so that the belt buckle would be worn on the side, not in the front. Players of this era usually wore the belt buckle to one side to prevent injury when sliding into a base. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Nola McConnan","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26376682691,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/mlbpipi1909opt3pics.jpg?v=1615921957"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-pirates-1911","title":"Pittsburgh Pirates 1911","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

As best we can tell, the first instance of pinstriped uniforms was in 1907. The Boston Braves road uniform were made from a gray flannel with a fine green pinstripe. Later that same year the Cubs had a new gray uniform with fine pin striping made for the World Series - they wore it for the World Series opener in Chicago and were later reprimanded by the league for not wearing a white uniform at home. The Yankees, most often associated with pinstripe uniforms, first wore a pinstriped uniform for one year at home in 1912 (the New York Times wrote about their 1912 home opener The Yankees presented a natty appearance in their new uniforms of white with black pin stripes), then every year from 1915 to the present.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eNote the wonderful and unique method by which the Pirates displayed their city name on this uniform it is written vertically along the buttoned front of the jersey.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe 1912 Pirates finished the season in 2nd place with a 93-58 record. The leading pitcher was Claude Hendrix who went 24-9. Honus Wagner hit .324 for his 13th straight season hitting .300 or better (he would end up hitting .300+ 14 straight years) but didn't win the batting title (he had won 8 of the previous 12 NL titles). Owen Wilson of the Pirates sets a Major League record in 1912 with 36 triples, a record that still stands today. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Nola McConnan","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26376694851,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/mlbpipi1912opt3.jpg?v=1576617139"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-pirates-1925","title":"Pittsburgh Pirates 1925","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

Instead, there is a simple a blue P on the right sleeve it's interesting to look at this entire poster at the variety of colors the Pirates have worn over the years we often think of the Pirates as being entirely yellow and black, but this was clearly not always the case.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe rather large, and almost cumbersome, patch on the right sleeve celebrates the National League's 50th anniversary, an anniversary known as the Golden Jubilee. All NL teams wore this patch. The centered belt loop seen on previous uniforms is now gone, and the Pirates now have belt tunnels on their pants. For those of you unfamiliar with this expression, a belt tunnel is really simply a very wide belt loop, perhaps even 4-8 inches in length.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe Pirates finish the season with a 95-58 record, winning the NL by 8 games over the New York Giants, and in turn go on to face the post-season challenged Washington Senators for the World Series (the Senators actually won it all in 1924, so I should go a bit easier on them). This was the Pirates third appearance in the World Series they lost in 1903, and won in 1909.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe Senators go up 3 games to 1 in the best of 7 series, on the strength of Walter Johnson who won games one and four surrendering only one run in both games he pitched a complete game 5 hitter in game 1, and a complete game 6 hitter in game 6). Without Johnson pitching the Pirates take advantage, winning game five 6-3 in Washington and game six 3-2 back at home to tie the series at 3 games apiece and send things to a 7th and deciding game in Pittsburgh.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eWalter Johnson started game 7 for the Senators, and despite the fact he was hit hard, the Pirates entered the bottom of the 8th on the losing end of a 7-6 score. But the Pirates had their eyes on the ultimate prize, and they scored 3 runs in the 8th and then held the Senators off the scoresheet in the top of the 9th to claim their 2nd Major League Championship.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe post-season Pirates were led at the plate by outfielders Max Carey, who hit .458 with 2 RBI, and Kiki Cuyler who hit .269 with 6 RBI. On the mound they were led in the series by Ray Kremer who went 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA and Vic Aldridges 2-0 and 3.93 ERA. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Nola McConnan","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26376711363,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/mlbpipi1925opt3.jpg?v=1576617139"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-pirates-1938","title":"Pittsburgh Pirates 1938","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

During the 40's, 50's and 60's many teams used zippered jerseys instead of the more traditional button front jerseys, while a handful of teams wore them well into the 70's and even the 80's. The Reds were one of three pre-1977 major league teams that never wore zippers, the others being the Yankees and As. The 1937 Cubs were the first team to wear a zippered jersey, and as far we can tell the 1988 Phillies were the last to wear one.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe handsome Pirate crest pictured here was only worn on the front of the jersey for the 40 and 41 seasons, on both home and road uniforms.

This change first occurred in 1948 when the Pirates joined the NFL's Steelers in adopting black and yellow as their official color. The Steelers had been using yellow and black since the 30's and this was the primary influence in their color change. As of the 80's all Pittsburgh teams had adopted these colors. The NHL's Penguins started in 67 using 2 shades of blue, then switched to yellow and black in the 70's.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe Pirates finished the 1955 season in 8th and last place in the National League with a 60-94 record, 38 games behind the eventual World Series Champion Brooklyn Dodgers.\u003cnewparagraph\u003e1955 would be a memorable year for true Pirates fans as it was this season that future Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente started his career as a 20-year-old rookie, playing in 124 games, and batting .255 with 5 home runs and 47 RBI. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Nola McConnan","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26376734915,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/mlbpipi1955opt3.jpg?v=1576617136"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-pirates-1960","title":"Pittsburgh Pirates 1960","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

Typically when a team goes on the road it wears its city name on the jersey. As you can see here, the Pirates thought their reputation would precede them and thus wore Pirates on the road instead of the traditional Pittsburgh.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eBut it's even more unusual, in our opinion, because it is a vest jersey instead of the more traditional button-down-the-front jersey. The Pirates first wore vests in 1957 and continued to do so until 1971.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe 60 Pirates enjoy a 95-59 season and finish in first, seven games ahead of the Milwaukee Braves. The Bucs were led by Roberto Clemente, who hit .314 with 16 home runs and 94 RBI, and shortstop Dick Groat, who hit a league leading .325. On the mound, Vern Law led the team with a 20-9 record.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eIn the 1960 World Series the New York Yankees out-hit the Pirates, outscored the Pirates, out-homered the Pirates and out-pitched the Pirates. But the Pirates still won!\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe Pirates won game one in Pittsburgh 6-4, then lost game two at home 16-3 and game three 10-0 in New York. But the Bucs came back to win game four 3-2 in NY and game five 5-2 (also in NY). Continuing with the see-saw nature of the series, NY clobbered the Pirates 12-0 in game 6 in Pittsburgh.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThis set the stage for the seventh and deciding game, which was played in Pittsburgh. The Pirates had a 4-0 lead by the end of the 2nd, and looked to be well on their way to their 3rd World Series title. But the Yankees responded with 7 unanswered runs to take a 7-4 lead in the 8th. Things looked bleak for the Pirates.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eBut the Pirates put on their rally caps and scored a remarkable 5 runs in the bottom of the 8th, grabbing a 9-7 lead. But sure enough, in the top of the 9th the Yankees reply with 2 runs of their own, and the score was tied going into the bottom of the 9th, setting the stage for some bottom of the 9th heroics.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eOn deck was 2nd baseman Bill Mazeroski with no one on base. What happened next is arguably the most famous home run in World Series history, Bill Mazeroski belted one to left off of Yankee pitcher Ralph Terry to give Pittsburgh a 10-9 win and its third World Series Championship (previous World Series victories were in 1909 and 1925).\u003cnewparagraph\u003eA wonderful prologue to this home run is the fact that Mazeroski and Terry became good friends and made guest appearances together at card shows across the country. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Nola McConnan","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26376750339,"sku":null,"price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/mlbpipi1960opt3.jpg?v=1576617136"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-pirates-1971","title":"Pittsburgh Pirates 1971","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

It was a pullover style, made of stretchy, synthetic material. The pants were called Sans-a-Belts because the elasticized waistline eliminated the need for a belt. The 1970 Pirates were the first double-knit sans-a-belt team, and the Cards and Astros joined them in 1971. By 1975 two thirds of major league teams had succumbed.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThis is also the first time on the poster that we see numbers on the front of the jersey, (the Pirates began wearing uniform numbers on the front of their jerseys in 1962). Uniform numbers first made their appearance on the front of a uniform in 1952 - the Brooklyn Dodgers were the first team to wear uniform numbers on the front of their jersey. The Braves followed suit in 1953, and the Reds joined in beginning in 1956. The 1916 Cleveland Indians actually wore a uniform number on their sleeve, but it wasn't until the 52 Dodgers that the number made it to the front.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe Pirates finish the 71 regular season in first in the NL East with a 97-65 record, thereby earning the right to play the NL West Champion San Francisco Giants for the NL Pennant. In game one of the best of five series, San Fran prevail at home 5-4. But the Pirates storm back to take game 2 in San Francisco, then games 3 \u0026amp; 4 in Pittsburgh, thus advancing to the World Series to face the Baltimore Orioles.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe first two games were in Baltimore, and the Pirates lost both (5-3 and 11-3). The series headed back to Pitt. Paced by a brilliant 3-hit complete game pitching performance by Blass in game 3, the Pirates make it 2 games to 1. In game 4 rookie pitcher Bruce Kison was called upon to relieve starter Luke Walker after just 2\/3rds of an inning, and he replied by tossing 6 1\/3 innings of one hit ball, leading the Bucs to a 4-3 win in game 4. The series was squared at 2 apiece.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eGame 5 was still in Pittsburgh, and starter Nellie Briles tossed a masterful 2 hit shut-out to stake the Pirates to a 3 games to 2 lead. It was now back to Baltimore for game 6 and perhaps game 7. Thus far in the series the home team had won, so Pirates fans had every reason to be worried.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eSure enough, the O's tied the series by winning game 6 in dramatic fashion in ten innings (the final score was 3-2 after the Pirates were up 2-0 going into the bottom of the sixth!), thus sending the series to a seventh and deciding game.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eGame 7 turned out to be everything baseball purists want - a pitchers dual. The Pirates Steve Blass threw a four hitter, and Clemente hit a homer, pacing the Pirates to a 2-1 win and their 4th Championship (previous World Series victories were in 1909, 1925 and 1960). Roberto Clemente is named the Series MVP on the strength of his .414 batting average and two home runs, while Steve Blass chipped in with 2 complete 1 run games.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe 1972 season would see Roberto Clemente notch his 3000th hit in nearly the last game of the season, a magical cap to a marvelous career. As every true Pirates fan knows, Clemente would die tragically while in a plane crash on December 31, 1972 as he was flying relief supplies to Nicaraguan earthquake victims. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Nola McConnan","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26376757187,"sku":null,"price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/mlbpipi1971opt3.jpg?v=1576617135"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-pirates-1977","title":"Pittsburgh Pirates 1977","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

This one we have depicted here is a road version featuring a yellow top with black pants. This road is of a double-knit style that most major league teams succumbed to during the 70's and early 80's. It was a pullover style, made of stretchy, synthetic material. The pants were called Sans-a-Belts because the elasticized waistline eliminated the need for a belt. The 1970 Pirates were the first double-knit sans-a-belt team, and the Cards and Astros joined them in 1971. By 1975 two thirds of major league teams had succumbed.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAfter narrowly missing post season play in 1978 when they finished 1.5 games behind the Phillies, the 1979 Pirates made amends as they finished the regular season two games up on the Expos in the NL East with a 98-64 record. This earned the Pirates the right to face the NL West champion Cincinnati Reds in a best of five National League Championship series.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe Reds were no match for the Pirates as they rolled by the Reds in three straight games 5-2, 3-2 and 7-1. Willie Stargell went 5 for 11 with 2 home runs and Phil Garner went 5 for 12 with 1 homer, while the Pirates pitching staff combined for a 1.50 ERA, holding the Reds to a collective .215 batting average.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eNext up were the Baltimore Orioles who went a league leading 102-57 in the regular season. Games 1 \u0026amp; 2 were in Baltimore, with the O's winning the first 5-4 and the Pirates winning game two 3-2 on the strength of a two out top-of-the-ninth single by Manny Sanguillen.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe series shifted back to Pittsburgh for 3 games, and the Orioles pounded the Pirates pitchers for 13 hits in a 8-4 O's win in game 3, then added 12 more hits in a 9-6 Baltimore win in game 4. Thus the Pirates had their backs against the wall needing to win 3 in a row.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAnd things looked bleak going into the bottom of the 6th as the Pirates trailed 1-0. But their bats exploded for 2 runs in the 6th, 2 in the 7th and 3 more in the 8th and they cruised to a 7-1 win. The Series now shifted back to Baltimore. On the strength of 6 innings of strong pitching by Tom Candelaria and three innings of shut-out relief by Kent Tekulve, the Pirates won 4-0 and evened the Series at 3 apiece.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eGame 7. Baltimore. Trailing 1-0 going into the 6th inning of game seven, Willie Stargell smacked a 2-run homer off of Oriole Scott McGregor to take the lead for the Pirates. Meanwhile four Pirates pitchers staff teamed up to four hit the O's and the Pirates added two more runs in the top of the ninth for a 4-1 victory and the Pirates fifth World Series championship (1909, 1925, 1960, 1971 and 1979) vs just two losses (1903 and 1927).\u003cnewparagraph\u003eWillie Stargell earned the Series MVP, with a batting average of .400, 3 homers, and 7 RBI. On the mound, Kent Tekulve had three saves and four Pirates pitchers each won a game Bert Blyleven, John Candelaria, Don Robinson and Grant (Buck) Jackson.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAnd We Are Family? This was the great Sister Sledge song that the Pirates and Pirates fans adopted as their team song. It embodied the great team spirit and camaraderie that characterized the 79 Bucs, and 20+ years later baseball fans just have to hear the 5 notes We are fam-il-ly and the 79 Pirates immediately spring to mind.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eWe also have to tip our cap to Dave Parker, who in 1979 recorded his 5th consecutive .300+ season. The 6 5 230 pound Parker ended his 19 year Major League career (11 with the Pirates) with a .290 average and a .471 slugging percentage, and he will best be remembered for his tremendous offensive seasons with the 1975-1980 Bucs.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eOn a sad note, Willie Pops Stargell passed away in April 2001 after battling kidney disease.  He was 61 and will forever be remembered as a team leader and gentlemanly father figure. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Nola McConnan","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26376769923,"sku":null,"price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/mlbpipi1979opt3.jpg?v=1576617134"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-pirates-1992","title":"Pittsburgh Pirates 1992","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

Last worn in 1953, a Pittsburgh script adorned the Pirates 1992 road uniforms, a style the team re-introduced in 1990. Note also the patch on the left shoulder.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe 1992 season, saw the Bucs finish the regular season atop the NL East with a 96-66 record, thus pitting them against the Atlanta Braves in the best-of-seven National League Championship.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe Braves jumped out to 2-0 and 3-1 leads, but the Pirates battled back to square the series at 3 and force a dramatic game 7 in Atlanta.

A 3rd jersey is a concept that became commonplace in baseball by the mid 90's. Most 3rd jerseys are worn occasionally at home as well as on the road, giving a team a third option as to what uniform to wear. And of course, the addition of a third jersey adds to the options fans can buy, thereby increasing apparel revenues and ultimately benefiting the team. More recently, teams have begun adding 4th and even 5th jerseys to their roster of uniform possibilities, although we have to point out that the Pirates were ahead of their time as far back as the late 70's when they used 5 different uniform combinations.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThis jersey has several interesting characteristics: There is a thin red border around the yellow lettering and numbers; the letters themselves are flat across the top and curved underneath (quite unique); there are two buttons in the area of the neck of the jersey, again, quite unique; and the pirate patch on the left shoulder has been reincarnated with an angry face, an eye patch and a bandanna. This uniform also demonstrates a fashion trend that started in the mid-late 90's, with the teams names and\/or logos embroidered on the neck\/collar of the undershirt.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe Pirates finished the 1998 season at the bottom of the NL Central Division with a 69-93 record, 29 games behind the first place Houston Astros. In a season that saw the Cardinals Mark McGwire break the single season home run record, collecting 70 dingers, the Bucs were led offensively by Kevin Young who hit .270 with 27 home runs and 108 RBI. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Nola McConnan","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26376785027,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/mlbpipi1998opt3.jpg?v=1576617133"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-pirates-1999","title":"Pittsburgh Pirates 1999","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

Due to the predominant use of the color red, people might have thought that Pittsburgh was changing their colors, but this was not the case this was simply an outrageous, eye-popping jersey designed to shock everyone who saw it.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAlso unique was the fact that the players names and numbers ran vertically on the back of the jersey, as opposed to the traditional horizontal layout.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eIn April 1999, groundbreaking takes place for the Pirates new home, later to be known as PNC Park. PNC Park would open the 2001 season, replacing the testament to the 70's, Three Rivers Stadium.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eOn the field, the 78-83 99 Pirates are led by 28 year old star-in-the-making Brian Giles, who batted .315 with 39 home runs, and Kevin Youngs .298 with 26 dingers. Defensively, Todd Ritchies 15-9 record and 3.49 ERA led the Pirates who havent been able to reach the .500 mark since the heartbreaking 92 season (75-87 in 93; 53-61 in 94; 58-86 in 95; 73-89 in 96; 79-83 in 97; 69-93 in 98, 69-83 in 2000; 62-100 in 2001). \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Nola McConnan","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26376792323,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/mlbpipi1999opt3.jpg?v=1576617132"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-pirates-2005","title":"Pittsburgh Pirates 2005","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

Rooney (aka The Chief) was the prototypical playboy: a slick card player, a cunning horseplayer, and a savvy sports promoter. He purchased an NFL franchise in 1933 for $2,500, and converted his semi-pro team, known as the Majestics (for the Majestic Radios Athletic Club), into the Pirates - naming the team the same as its baseball counterparts! It wasn't until 1940 that Rooney changed the name to the Steelers suggested by the teams ticket managers wife to reflect ties to the city's steel industry. The Steelers are steeped in tradition, and in fact are the 6th oldest  team in the NFL today.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAs you can see from the 1933 painting, this inaugural 33 Pittsburgh Pirates jersey had various stripes - which were actually raised felt. These felt strips allowed the ball carrier to get a better purchase on the ball and thus keep it that much more securely.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eIf you look closely at the 1993 jersey, you'll see quite a complicated crest, which is actually the Arms of the City of Pittsburgh. We had quite a time researching this as to the best of our ability to tell, there are no actual 1933 jerseys still in existence, and the few photos that exist don't show the crest in too fine a detail.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eIn researching this jersey, we relied on newspaper articles that confirmed it was the city of Pittsburgh crest, and then we found samples of the crest as it appeared in the early 30's. We then matched the crest to the jersey photos, and came up with the likeness shown in this painting.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eIn 1994, when the NFL was commemorating its 75th anniversary, all teams wore throwback jerseys at one time or another. The Steelers chose to honor the 1933 team and re-created the 1933 jersey. The only problem was that they ran into the same sort of roadblock we did, thus the NFL had to do a bit of guessing as to what the crest looked like.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThus the 33 jersey is truly an elusive football gem - if anybody knows anything about the existence of one of these jerseys, you should contact the Pro Football Hall of Fame in can'ton, Ohio they would love to hear from you!\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAs for the 1933 team, they finished 3-6-2 and in 5th place in the 5 team NFL East. And things wouldn't get much better for a while. In fact, the Pirates\/Steelers wouldn't finish above .500 until 1942 when they went 7-4. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Tino Paolini","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26382656259,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/nflps1933opt3_24d77fc5-a008-4537-ab1c-936dcd408407.jpg?v=1576616776"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-steelers-1934","title":"Pittsburgh Steelers 1934","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

Carrying on with the games would boost the morale of the entire Country, and get their minds off of the war effort for a short time.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eFielding players and trying to survive the financial effects of the war proves to be an enormous challenge. The end result, in 1943, was that the state of Pennsylvania sees its two NFL franchises (the Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles) merge unofficially being dubbed the Steagles, and donning the Eagle green \u0026amp; white. In 1944, the Steelers would merge again, this time with the Chicago Cardinals forming the Card-Pitts.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe 1943 Steagles play their games both in Pittsburgh and in Philadelphia, and finish the season 5-4-1, only their second winning season since the team began in 1933 (1942 was the first winning season).\u003cnewparagraph\u003eOf note: It wasn't until 1940 that owner Art Rooney changed the name to the Steelers suggested by the teams ticket managers wife to reflect ties to the city's steel industry. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Tino Paolini","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26382674947,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/nflps1943opt3.jpg?v=1576616774"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-steelers-1954","title":"Pittsburgh Steelers 1954","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

The jersey has the more traditional horizontal striping on the sleeves, while the helmet is no longer leather but instead it's a hard plastic shell. Note the lack of a face mask on the helmet, somewhat remarkable given the fact that players in the 50's were increasingly large. The question of whether or not to use a face mask was up to the individual player, and I can think of at least one, Bobby Layne, who didn't wear a face mask as late as the 1960 season.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAs proud and successful as the Steelers of the 70's were, we can't say the same for their ancestors. In the 30's they didn't have a single season over .500; in the 40's they had 4 winning seasons; in the 50's they only had 2 seasons over .500; and in the 60's they only had 2 wining seasons as well for a total of 8 winning seasons in 37 years.

Layne was a slightly pudgy, lovable but tough quarterback who had been through the wars with the Bears, the New York Bulldogs and for 8 years the Detroit Lions.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAfter leading the Steelers to consecutive winning seasons in 1958 (7-4-1) and 1959 (6-5-1), Layne can't do it all and the Steelers fall to 5-6-1 in 1960. And thus the Steelers woes continue from 1933 to 1971 the Steelers make the playoffs a grand total of one time in 1947. Yikes\u003cnewparagraph\u003eA few points of interest about the 1960 jersey: note the unique color of the Steelers pants, as well as the black-yellow-black stripes on the side of the pants. Note also the fact that the helmet depicted now has a  face mask, even though quarterback Bobby Layne still went without one in the 1960 season. Also note that the 1960 helmet did not have a logo on it this began in 1962, and even then only on the right side of the helmet. Finally, note how relatively tight the jersey was in 1960.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eFrom 1957 to 1963 the Steelers were led by quarterback Bobby Layne, defensive tackle Ernie Stautner and running back John Henry Johnson, and they considered themselves were legitimate division contenders. But the \"dynasty years,\" which coincided with the team's move to the AFC at the time of AFL-NFL merger, were still a decade away. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Tino Paolini","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26382702979,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/nflps1960opt3_30e19e88-ce28-45f6-ac2d-388f7339ce1f.jpg?v=1576616773"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-steelers-1963","title":"Pittsburgh Steelers 1963","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat.

The 3 points not only represent three rivers, but are also the US Steel logo. Die-hard Steelers fans know that this logo is only on the right side of the helmet. The story goes that when the logo was proposed in 1962, owner Art Rooney wasn't 100% sure if he liked the logo so he had it placed on the right side only! The tradition has been upheld ever since.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eAnd the Steelers record in 1963? A terrific 7-4-3 one of only 8 winning seasons between 1933 (when the team was founded) and 1971.

Most NFL uniforms added the NFL logo patch to the neck, and to the upper left thigh of the pants, beginning in 1991.

They gave their running game a facelift, by ousting prospect Amos Zereoue and signing all-purpose tough guy Duce Staley. Staley and Jerome the Bus Bettis would share the ball carrying duties. On defense, younger, faster players like CB Ricardo Colclough and LB Dedrick Roper replaced aging veterans like Dewayne Washington and Jason Gildon.  Unfortunately, younger also means untested, so Cowher knew the playoffs were far from being guaranteed.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe Steelers started the season on the right foot with a home win against the Oakland Raiders. In week 2 the team looked like it suffered a major setback when Tommy Maddox went down with a leg injury in a road game against the Baltimore Ravens; Roethlisberger stepped and played the rest of the game. The Steelers lost the game, but remarkably that would be the last defeat they would suffer the rest of the regular season. From that loss the team came together and Roethlisberger proved he was ready for the big leagues, finishing the season with 196 completions for 2621 yards, 17 TD and 11 interceptions, and their defense allowed opposing teams more than 20 points in only three games the rest of the way.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThe end result: a franchise best 15-1 record and a trip to the playoffs as the AFC's top seed.  In the playoffs the team that rolled through the regular season struggled and seemed a little over-their-heads in the playoffs.  After a first week bye, the Steelers faced the Jets in a Divisional playoff and narrowly won 20-17 in overtime, and this was after Jets PK Doug Brien missed his second chance at a game winning field goal.  In the AFC Championship game their inexperience showed as they lost 41-27 at home to the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. The Patriots would go on to win Super Bowl XXXIX.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eIt was interesting to note that despite having the NFL's best record at 15-1, the Steelers had no players selected to the AFC Pro Bowl team.\u003cnewparagraph\u003eThis 2004 road jersey continues a look the team established in 1997 - the black numeral style featured on this jersey is similar to the rounded numeral style the Chicago Bears use. It is used for the numbers on the front and back of the jersey as well as the TV numbers on the shoulders.  The sleeves are decorated with the traditional Steelers black white and gold striping.  Please also note that the teams logo appears on a patch on the left shoulder of the jersey, an unusual look for NFL jerseys.\u003cnewparagraph\u003ePlease also note the fact that the helmet, as shown here, has no logo on the left side. As written earlier in this text, if you could see the right side of the helmet, you'd see the traditional 3-point Steelers logo a marking that has graced the right side of Steelers helmets since 1962. The 3 points not only represent three rivers, but were also the US Steel logo. Die-hard Steelers fans know that this logo is only on the right side of the helmet. The story goes that when the logo was proposed in 1962, owner Art Rooney wasn't 100% sure if he liked the logo so he had it placed on the right side only! The tradition has been upheld ever since and that's why the left side has no logo. \u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e\u003c\/newparagraph\u003e","brand":"Tino Paolini","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":26382771139,"sku":"","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1437\/3814\/products\/nflps2000opt3_5e4af029-fb58-436d-9612-460a009973b5.jpg?v=1576616769"},{"product_id":"pittsburgh-steelers-2005","title":"Pittsburgh Steelers 2005","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully framed piece features an two pieces of original, one-of-a-kind artwork.
