I also believe that much more time and effort was put into the T3's. Other than Baker, of course. That was just plain stupid.

It's possible the pic wasn't that clear when looking at the glove. It was a dark object on a black and white photo, who knows how visible it was in the pic. Until you find the original photo, I'm going with artist error
