"realistic" Lol...Yes...because photos are
never used from 2 years prior to card being made. Ever...except 1/2 of the cards from the 1950s...
Now, if I used a photo from AFTER the date--that would be weird.
That being said, I am keenly aware of the uniform. In fact I always strive to use very meticulous year-appropriate photos. The regular issue card is the home pins. The roads were gray only with red numbers and wordmark logo on the front. I couldn't find another image that was the same frame and ratio that was from '50 or '51...PLUS, I love those uniforms. I did the regular card of Ennis in the '48 Road uniform, too. Just too a great image. But, thank you for your input.
