re: Ebbets Field Flannels releases LSU apparel as part of its new collegiate line

The pictures from the media guide of all americans from '65 and '67 have hats that look very close if not exactly like the recreation. There aren't any very up close shots to know for certain, and of course neither of the players I looked at were on the team '66. And the pictures aren't dated.

ETA: Subsequent pictures in the media guide of Jim Smith and Gene Achord show that hat exactly.

For the record, I wasn't being a dick in pressing for pics, I was just generally curious. I found these old things interesting and was able to find that '61 version on a google search, and thought it odd that they would tweak that one to look like this version.

There is a very good chance I'm $43 lighter by the end of the day.

I love Ebbet's Field Flannel stuff....just be prepared for a wool hat. Not really something you're going to want to wear from March through October down here.

Not sure why everyone is anti-zipper. That was a common feature on jerseys for several decades; Jackie Robinson used to wear one.

If Ebbets Field decided to bother with a zipper, there's likely some historically accuracy to it.

Looks cool but I couldn't pull it off.
