The uniform consists of a hat, jersey, pants with belt, socks and stirrups. The black wool hat features an orange bill and a Baltimore Orioles logo stitched into the front center. Robinson's jersey number "5" is written in ink on the underside of the hat bill. Stitched into the sweatband of the hat is a Wilson manufacturer's tag, with a "7 1/2" stamped hat size. The uniform jersey is a flannel cream colored button-down jersey featuring the "Orioles" script logo angled across the chest in orange twill-on-black felt above Robinson's number "5," also in orange twill-on-black felt.
