Bobby Bonds only played in 26 games for the Chicago White Sox during the 1978 before he was traded to the Texas Rangers. Combined, Bonds hit 33 home runs with 98 RBI during the 1978 season.

      In his limited time with the ChiSox, Bonds wore this navy blue Rawlings knit pullover jersey. Dubbed the “Leisure Suit” uniform, this size 44 jersey has “CHICAGO” sewn on across the chest in white tackle twill. The unique feature to this jersey is collar that gives it the “Leisure Suit” look, along with the length that was typically worn un-tucked. The back of the jersey has “BONDS” and his number “25” sewn on in white tackle twill. Not surprisingly, the jersey shows light use, given that Bonds only spent a short time in the Windy City. Given the age, the jersey is in excellent condition and the numbers and letters are still pure white. The red Rawlings tag is sewn on the inside back collar and this jersey comes with a full LOA from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema.
