That might be a reason we don't see "Homestead" and just "Grays".
I know I can't find examples of both home and away jerseys for most teams (money, lack of luggage room, press coverage?) and often in some team photos you see different jerseys, caps on a few players. While those could be spring training or pregame photos, I can imagine at times they worked with what they had, especially if they had to pick up players along the way to fill out a thinning roster.

OK, thanks for all the good info!
