Product Description

History: Can you imagine a team with both Satchel Paige and Jackie Robinson? For one brief year in 1945, the Grand Old Man of the Negro leagues and the young future pioneer were teammates in Kansas City. The Monarchs' road uniforms in 1945 had a different color scheme (navy and gold instead of the traditional red and navy) and differing roster numbers than the home uniforms, with Satch wearing #0 on the road while Robinson wore #23.

History: Arguably the Negro Leagues' all-time greatest team, the Monarchs won five consecutive Negro National League championships during the 1920s. They went on to win six more titles between 1937 and 1950 as members of the Negro American League. Monarch greats included Satchel Paige, Buck O'Neil, and pitcher Hilton Smith. Jackie Robinson was on the 1945 squad when he was first scouted by Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
