On April 15th, 1947, Jackie Robinson made history when he became the first African American player to break the segregated lines of baseball when he took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers. This authentic replica of the Brooklyn Dodgers home jersey was worn by Robinson during the 1955 season. Even though he was in the latter stages of his career, Jackie Robinson still played an important role for a pennant winning Dodgers team that finally defeated the cross-town rival Yankees in the World Series. The Dodgers won a dramatic seven game series, earning Brooklyn their very first World Series title. Produced by Mitchell & Ness, this jersey has been painstakingly reproduced to capture the finest details that include wool flannel construction, button front design, with wool felt lettering and numbers.

Player Biography
In 1947, Jackie Robinson broke the major leagues’ unwritten color barrier, becoming the first black player in the 20th century. Teammate and Hall of Famer Duke Snider called him “the greatest competitor I’ve ever seen.” Robinson was selected by Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey not only for the skills he brought to the field, but also those he possessed off it. A man of great character, Robinson lettered in four sports at UCLA before becoming an officer in the U.S. Army during World War II. In 1997, Robinson was honored posthumously when Major League Baseball universally retired his uniform number, 42.
