Great shot of some old-school Cubs uniforms and jackets, looks like circa 1940. From "When it was a game" by Larry Bodnovich. (source- uniwatchblog.com)
I so want one of those jackets.

I believe this is the 1938 World Series, v. NY
These uniforms appeared in 1937 for the first time. They have a zipper front. The ivy isn’t shown in this pic — it was planted the year before, and may not have grown very much. There seems to be some ivy, partially obscured to the left of the red door.
(We are looking toward RF, with those familiar 2-flats on Sheffield.)
It’s been a while since I’ve seen this edition of the show, but I believe there was plenty of color footage since it was a World Series year…

You are correct.
IIRC, that’s the first WS where there was any color film footage.
