Your Mom Dresses You Funny - Part 3

Part 1 is here.
Part 2 is here.
---------------

This four-part theme is dedicated to cards for which the jersey pictured does not match the team mentioned on the card. There are two main variations: one team mentioned and two teams mentioned (as in, "traded to X").

Many of you team collectors perhaps don't count these in your collective collecting quests. Well I do. Reds jersey... I want it. Reds team logo... I want it. Reds team name... I want it. Non-intrusive "Traded to the Reds"/"Now with Reds" text... I want it. In other words, I'm a bona fide Reds slut. And don't even act like any of you can cast a judgmental stone.
 
Part 3, today, will be the AL West, NL West, NL Central, and some air-brushed silliness.
