NYSkyliner Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 OK, first thing I see is the Hurc's hats. These always reminded me of corps from up-state NY. Then, another reminder, the black shoes. Most corps from below the Tappan Zee Bridge wore white bucks. Except Reilly and Cabs to name a couple. A cross on the hat and the fact that these folks look like a senior corps tell me this might be the Grey Knight Crusaders on retreat. If I'm wrong, forget anything I've said above. That is correct. A merger of the Hilton Grey Knights and the Irondiquot (sp) Crusaders. I believe Vince Bruni named them the "Fabulous" Crusaders. At least I think I recall them being announced as such on a few occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm impressed for you not knowing how to spell Irondequoit(where the water meets the land), you did a darn good job of spelling it. It was interesting back in the day, they weren't the Crusaders, but the 'Fabulous' Crusaders, they weren't the Utica Yankees, but the "Magnificent" Yankees. They weren't just the Liberators, but the 'Mighty" Liberators......kinda' adds some panache don't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd show you others! (Don't say you dropped the Fabulous part... that doesn't sound good on the Corps' behave at all.) LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
