The Must-Have Throwback T-Shirts for the 2011 Baseball Season

Via Big League Stew, bear witness to Nike's new "Cooperstown Heritage" line of 13 mustache-silhouetted shirts. Unbelievably sweet idea.

There are no Dodgers in this throwback t-shirt lineup (in fact, there are no NL Westers and only one AL West representative (Randy Johnson circa Seattle Mariners era). Which of course, is a huge slight to both Casey Blake and his beard, among others (Ron Cey's 'stache would have gotten a vote from me; Jeff Kent's pornstache would have also made the cut but probably as a Giant; and what about Frank McCourt's toupee?).

But if you wanted to stretch the Dodger affiliation, you could always go with Don Mattingly:

Or what about Kirk Gibson:

Nice job, Nike!

That dirty rotten son-of-a-bitch Reggie can die in plane crash (hip first).

The rest are pretty cool, though.

I'm glad the Dodgers were left out. These shirts are horrid!

I dunno. I like the Rollie Fingers one.

There should be an alt Dodger version of the Mattingly one that's just a hat and a tiny, wispy soul patch.

Eh, the Dodgers already did this.

What about an early 90's Piazza?

Piazza screw him, he is a Met. What no Dodger, that is crap. They should of made one of Gagne. No I already have that one with the blue goatee.
