Chicago Police vintage Sergeant's shirt
Here is something you have not seen worn since 1971.
This shirt is dated by its color and the patches.
CPD sergeants started wearing white shirts instead of blue shirts on May 1, 1971.
All CPD officers - all ranks - also started wearing the city flag patch on their right shoulders on May 1, 1971. Since this blue shirt for sergeants became obsolete on May 1, 1971, it never had the city flag patch on it.
This shirt has the old pie piece or teardrop shaped shoulder patch, and it has the District 19 center insert. This style of patch became obsolete in November, 1981. Both the insert and the teardrop patch have gold outside border, and this was the patch used by sergeants, lieutenants and captains.
