Then, when a photo was finally found, the mystery only grew deeper. Why a bear cub on the jersey? Turns out that the Sea Lions purchased uniforms previously used by a semi-pro club called the San Francisco Cubs.
History: Owned by Effa Manley––the first woman inducted into Cooperstown––and led by star outfielder Larry Doby, the '46 Eagles won the Negro World Series, defeating the Kansas City Monarchs in seven games. The following season, Doby would join the Cleveland Indians and break the American League color barrier three months after Jackie Robinson would break the Major League color barrier.
