In 1923 have a wonderful team photo of the Stars. All but two players are wearing the same uniform. Thanks to the amazing research of Matt Garvey, he has identified Cool Papa Bell in the back row wearing a previous season uniform with a different team. The other player in the back row we think could either be wearing an alternate 1923 uniform, or possibly the previous season’s, 1922, uniform.

These uniforms and logos are best approximations based on a scarce number of photographs. Years, colors, logos, and uniform styles have been approximated. We welcome any additional photography and newspaper accounts that will help bring the authentic St. Louis Negro League baseball uniforms back to life.
