Not an uncommon thing, especially in the '60s and '70s. The Braves, for instance, wore their 1971 traditional gray uniforms but their new multi-colored small "a" cap in Spring Training 1972.

In '79, the Red Sox wore the pullover double-knits road/away jerseys in ST..then switched to the home jerseys they wear today and a VERY DULL (IMHO) road jersey on Opening Day...different number font than the home jersey. They got rid of that road jersey for what they more or less wear now before the '90 season.
