Wilson decided to restore the famous "Shooting Star" Logo seen on its earliest A2000s and these are well made gloves, probably very workable for high schools and maybe some college players. No quite of A2000 quality and maybe Ansonia leather, but very acceptable fielding tools.
When I first saw the Lynn, in virtually mint condition, I thought, "what a handsome glove and the best possible glove you could get for one with Lynn's name on it. Though the Evans isn't nearly in as good a condition it is still a very well made glove.
And Wilson didn't put personal model on these gloves as many of the makers did for their creme de creme top liners, instead it has stamped "Designed For the Professional," under the signatures.
Many thought Lynn would make the Hall of Fame after being named rookie of the year and MVP in 1975. He wound up coming up short of the 2000 hit club and managed 300 homers for his career, winning four gold gloves, in eight all star games.
Evans, though not the fair haired boy that Lynn projected at a young age, did climb to 2000 hits and 400 homers for his lifetime totals.
I'm sure most here remember the very nice Wilson A2004 and 2005 Catfish Hunter models of this same time frame. Beginning in 1975, these Lynn and Evans models had disappeared from the line by 1979.
It had a really interesting web: kind of a dual hinge with triangular cutouts. It looked really nice!
