Majestic Chicago Baseball "Authentic Collection" T-Shirt

This is a pre-owned, short-sleeved t-shirt in a faded slate blue or periwinkle color, primarily made of what appears to be cotton due to its soft drape and slight wrinkling. The shirt features a ribbed crew neck and straight-cut sleeves. The main graphic on the front of the shirt displays the word "CHICAGO" in large, arched, sans-serif letters with a light orange fill and a darker red outline. Below "CHICAGO" is the word "BASEBALL" in smaller, all-caps, light orange lettering. Underneath "BASEBALL" is the phrase "AUTHENTIC COLLECTION" in even smaller, white, all-caps lettering. Centered below "AUTHENTIC COLLECTION" is the distinct Majestic Athletics logo, which consists of two triangular shapes. The shirt exhibits signs of wear consistent with its age, including color fading, particularly noticeable around the shoulders and collar, and some general wash wear. There are no obvious rips, tears, or holes visible from the provided image, but the fabric shows soft creases and a slightly worn-in texture. A tag is visible at the interior back collar, likely indicating the brand and size, though specific details are illegible. Additionally, a rectangular Majestic Athletics patch or tag is sewn onto the lower right front hem of the shirt, confirming the brand's 'Authentic Collection' designation. The overall construction appears to be standard for a casual t-shirt, with double-stitched hems on the sleeves and bottom. Given the branding and style, it likely dates from the late 1990s to early 2010s. The quality indicates a mass-produced, licensed sports apparel item.
