5. Celebrate the A's uniform history by owning a piece of history:
If you love the Oakland Athletics and the history of the Oakland A's franchise, you might really love to own an original piece of artwork celebrating the team's historic uniforms as seen in the poster at the top of this blog - you can actually own one of those original pieces of art! There are only 18 pieces of original art available for sale, and when these 18 are sold, that's it, they're all sold out.
These original watercolor paintings would make a great gift (birthday gift, anniversary gift, retirement gift, Christmas gift, etc.) for someone you love or even a great gift for yourself (one of these framed pieces would look fantastic in your home or office). Each piece can be bought one of three ways:
1. As unframed art that you could have framed or mounted yourself (the one on the left)
2. Framed in our "Classic" framed version (the middle version)
3. Framed in our "Deluxe" framed version (the version on the right)
If you would like more information about this great artwork including the three ways you could purchase each piece, please visit our Oakland Athletics YouTube video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=udIxVxRmf1w or go directly to the artwork website www.heritagesportsart.com/Oakland-Athletics-c152/ where you can see and purchase the artwork.
And if someone you know loves the history of sports uniforms (but maybe another team) and loves great art, please let them know that we have over 1500 pieces of great original artwork for sale at www.heritagesportsart.com (all NFL teams, all MLB teams, all NHL teams, all CFL teams, select NCAA football teams) or check out each team's video at the Heritage Sports Art YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/user/ssillcox

5. Sutter Health Park, Sacramento, CA 2025 - Present
2025 note: The team is simply being called the A's, or the Athletics, but not the Sacramento A's or Sacramento Athletics, or at least not at the moment.
The A’s will play on natural grass when they move to Sutter Health Park in Sacramento CA for the 2025 season and presumably for 2026 and 2027. The club will share the ballpark with the Sacramento River Cats, Triple-A affiliate of the Giants, until a planned stadium in Las Vegas is ready for the 2028-ish season.

You've mistakenly printed the home stadium for #3 as Municipal Stadium in Milwaukee, when in fact it was Municipal Stadium in Kansas City, MO.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for vintage Detroit Lions gear. Do you guys specialize in that?
