Piping (the trim on sleeves/collars/plackets, sometimes replaced by braid) and gussets (fabric inserts) are two very different things.

The American Association Milwaukee Brewers were actually owned by Bill Veeck. The rumor was always that the left field wall was built on a sliding track with a motor; would move it back when the visitors were batting. Anyway...Alex yesterday was looking for help on a possible DYI Braves jersey. I have made a few, as well as quite a few Brewers - even an AA Brewers as well.
