I'll grant that it has a better chance of being the 1848 Knickerbockers than the 1991 Knickerbockers.

I guess I come back to a simpler problem. Why would there be a picture of 6 random Knickerbockers in street clothes?

David, still can't come up with any specific features that are glaring non-matches, huh?

Scott, the 1862 pic is ten random Knickerbockers in street clothes. If I had to make a guess on mine, all six were elected team officers/directors, serving in various roles throughout the years. Perhaps this is a photograph of the officers/directors from whatever year it was taken. I can't find a record of the elections for every year.

10 is a team though. 6 isn't. It doesn't prove anything, just seems weird.
