Louisville Colonels PC info

Any Louisville experts here? Is this Louisville Colonels?

Looks mid teens to me, but not sure. Any ideas?

Robert: I won this team portrait of the 1923 Louisville Colonels squad from one of the AH's a while back. I'm hardly an expert on anything and I reserve the right to be wrong but the "L's" on the jerseys look to be very different so I'd say it is not Louisville. Very nice postcard nonetheless.

Hi David,

I was looking at yours while trying to research this one. Great piece! I've seen some others with an "L" similar to mine. I think earlier (or later) teams had a similar L, but I'm also out of my element here.

I have dozens of random, early postcards and I usually wouldn't ask, but this one strikes me as interesting for some reason. There was another PC of the same team (different photo with stands in the back) that ended on ebay yesterday.

Tried to match faces with the bitsy photos at BBRef.com for the 1913 and 1914 Louisville teams. Might have seen Lowdermilk, Niehoff and Nicholson but could just be my eyes playing Fimoffian tricks. A couple of the players have very distinct faces; maybe someone will recognize one of them right off the bat.

Can you show the back of the PC? That could narrow down the possible date and help confirm or disprove a Louisville connection.

I like the headless dog sitting out front. Hard for them to stay still with the long exposures.
