See #5 for the fugliest uniforms of all time!!

Anyway, if you do a Dressed to the Nines search, it looks like Brooklyn Tip-tops of rhe Federal league did use red stripes on their socks from 1914-15, but not the Brooklyn Robins. That said, maybe the makers of the Youth's Companion Stamp AND the 1916-20 Big Heads felt inclined to make the Brooklyn Robins uniform look cooler by adding red to the socks. I guess that's logical.

Also, and more importantly, why does Leon Cadore have a large "C" on his uniform???

I'm in the process of figuring out that and some other details in the set...going on three years now. BTW, the Cadore card looks more like Judge and the Judge card looks less like Judge...Still need a few for my set, including the great one mentioned here.

Have a pleasant evening fellas
