I am attempting to typeset something referencing an old Sears Roebuck catalogue and I was wondering if you could tell me some of the typefaces used in their catalogues. I am particularly interested in referencing the late 1950's - early 1960's, but anything you know about the typefaces used in any Sears Roebuck catalogues would be greatly appreciated. All the best, Mary Voorhees Hello.

Admittedly I’ve been out of the loop living in England for a bit so I haven’t seen a game since pre-lockout, but the Blues ditched the horrendous red striped jerseys a few years back. Unless they did something awful this year, I think the current ones are pretty sharp.

Send me the images, we'll convert to a vector format and have these on Distant Replays in time for the holiday season. Thanks- T. Hi Paul-

Ya'll think Pedro's convinced other players to do the same? It would seem more likely for him to tell them to wear em low, that way, they make an extra 70-something bucks. Hah, Bush has cameltoe…
