When was the last time that the word "Brooklyn" appeared on a Dodger uniform?

This sounds like a trick question but the while they were in Brooklyn the last time it was on the front of the uniform seems to have been 1945.

It's not a trick question. 1945 is correct. That year they had "Brooklyn" on their road uniforms. Nice work, Boomer.

You will love my "source" for the answer (semi-guess that it was). I went over to eBay and looked at photos of old Dodgers and Dodger teams.

i got the answer similarly - if you do an internet search on brooklyn dodgers uniform, you get a bunch of sites selling old jerseys and proclaiming '1945 was the last year the word brooklyn appeared on a dodger uniform'
