Deion Sanders Cincinnati Reds 1997 Gray Authentic Jersey

In 1997, Deion Sanders paid a personal tribute to Jackie Robinson by shortening the sleeves on his Cincinnati Reds road jersey, inspired by a photo of Robinson on a cereal box he spotted during spring training. When the National League took issue with the non-uniform sleeve length, Sanders' teammates rallied around him, adopting the same look so the team would remain in compliance with league rules requiring uniformity. Manager Ray Knight gave his blessing, and the entire Reds club came together to ensure Sanders' tribute to Robinson could live on, a quiet but powerful show of unity and respect for baseball's most important pioneer.
