Pirates Memorial Band
In 1973, as commonplace then, the Pirates wore 1972 uniforms in spring training. Rather than attach the memorial "21" logo (one of the first of its kind) and then detach them for reuse on the new regular season uniforms, they donned a simple black mourning patch for spring training.
It's a grim way of always knowing when you're looking at a 1973 Pirates' spring training image.
