Description: During the era of flannel baseball uniforms, the undershirt was usually a two-layer wool blend/cotton fabric with sleeves matching the primary team color. Years ago while visiting a now-defunct sporting goods manufacturer we found one of these original garments. A little digging turned up the Canadian mill which made the shirts for the major uniform manufacturers of the day. We persuaded the mill to make them again – especially for us – and we called the result the “Fungo” shirt.
We’re excited to now offer those same shirts, embellished with embroidered felt patches from some of our favorite teams!

History: Japan's second-largest city is home to one of its oldest professional baseball franchises. The Osaka Tigers first took the field in 1936. Their park - Koshien Field is the oldest in Japan, and is considered sacred ground by players and fans. There is also a statue of Babe Ruth outside the ballpark to commemorate the Bambino's 1934 visit to Osaka.
