Has there ever been a “throw back” uniform that has been as swept under the rug as this Cleveland Indians uniform? I have NEVER seen these red uniforms, and Halloween-looking-caps before this set of 1977 Topps cards. Not in baseball books, not in pictures, and not in old highlight reels. A brief internet search revealed that the Indians wore some version of these uniforms from 1975-77. Sometimes they wore the red shirt with white pants. Sometimes a white shirt with red pants. Sometimes a blue shirt with white pants. And sometimes a blue shirt with red pants. Yikes.

Is the “C” on his cap baring its fangs?
Good call on the fang-baring C. Made me think of the one of the Diamondbacks’ jerseys.
The Indians wore the all red often in that era. I’ve seen a pin of CC Sabathia in a throw back of that uniform. I have seen pictures of Frank Robinsonn, Boog Powell, and Dennis Eckersly wearing the all red.
