After looking through my Denver Bears images, the closet photos I found were from 1956 and 57. The 1957 picture of Fritz Brickell, has the large colored belt loops and back pocket flap but the stripes do not go all the way down the front of the jersey as seen in the 1956 photo of Woodie Held. The Bears have had a sleeve patch on all their uniforms. Is there any evidence of a patch once being on the sleeve?
