I wish Fleury would go back to his yellow pads, those were sweet. I know he does the white so it makes his pads look smaller, but the yellow pads were awesome.</description>

		<description>For shame, Paul...I told you a couple of years ago that there are jerseys on display in the Braves HOF at Turner Field with NOB...that the curator told me they were from the early 60&#039;s.  The lettering is huge, like the Big Red Machine wore in the 70&#039;s.  Guess I&#039;ll have to take a camera next time.  There is further evidence in that previously mentioned baseball card website, when you view Braves from that era pictured in a batting stance, with part of their back exposed.

Francoeur has mentioned that Braves minor leaguers are encouraged to wear pants legs high, showing a lot of sock, though big leaguers discourage the look.</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;269786&quot;][quote comment=&quot;269775&quot;]We are closing in on twenty years since the great Marc Okkonen book &quot;Baseball Uniforms of the 20th Century&quot; was released.  In those pre-internet days, this book became like a bible to a Uni Nerd like myself, and to this day, I thumb through it at least once a week.

Does any know whether the book will ever be updated?  Or is it just not necessary in the internet age?[/quote]
I wrote Marc a letter quite a few years ago.  He responded with a postcard that said he had no plans on updating the book.  He referred to the Dressed to the Nines exhibit page that we reference so often here.  I would love to have an addendum from the year he left off to present.

I bought that book at the All Star Game fanfest in Pittsburgh in 1994 and shortly thereafter had a copy special ordered from my brother from the old B. Dalton bookstore.  Speaking for both of us, it has been one of most treasured books, used many times for reference and just hours of enjoyment.

This book and my &quot;Simpsons Forever&quot; episode guides could entertain for HOURS in one of those desert island-type scenarios.[/quote]

Hot damn!  You must be my evil twin.  I first saw the Okkonen book back in the early 90&#039;s in a bookstore but couldn&#039;t afford it.  I finally bought it a few years ago.  I also have the Simpsons books you referenced.  I&#039;m a big fan of reference books!</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;269878&quot;]INTERESTING FNOB PHOTOS

Watching a video of the 1986 (1985 season) Fiesta Bowl between Michigan and Nebraska.

I found it quite interesting because Michigan feature a number of players who are FNOB, I assume because of brothers, although I struggled to find a roster.

However, what&#039;s interesting is the different styles of FNOB used (in the same game!). I made some caps of the video:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://sheffieldsabres.fileave.com/stats/vlcsnap-1550583.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Mike Hammerstein&lt;/a&gt; has the double line FNOB and &lt;a href=&quot;http://sheffieldsabres.fileave.com/stats/vlcsnap-1545968.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Tim Schultz&lt;/a&gt; has just the single line FNOB.

I found it quite interesting anyway!!!

http://huskerpedia.com/games/1985/12michigan.html has a review of the game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u2HSZezGnk has footage[/quote]

Elliott,

Hope this helps...
