I am thinking it was Lasalle because of the leaf on the headgear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty from those years.... but, it'll be a while before I get to them... right now I'm stuck in the 60s. LOL I'll get there eventually. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) I am just going to guess but was it Lasalle Cadets or Hurricanes? I am thinking it was Lasalle because of the leaf on the headgear. And thank you Nanci for letting me know Keith answered :P Psst yerself ^0^ :P Good idea on the Hurrcs but not sure what headgear they wore in early 60s. Pretty sure it's the Reilly Raiders fom Philly. Reilly always did Irish music and their attitude was "get in my way I'll march over you". Reilly beat the SF Renegades by about 40 years in wearing bad ### black unis. From what I read (thank you Carol Hooten) the brim of the hats were worn 2 finger widths above the nose (check the cartoon again). Again, wearing a hat that low was considered bad ###ed. Not to mention wearing something that looked like a Nazi "Gestapo" hat that soon after the end of WWII. Never saw the corps but have some of their recordings. Considered one the the best Sr corps in 50s/60s and unfortuately broke up in the late 1960s. Edited June 28, 2006 by JimF-xWSMBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pgh Guy Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Hey Jim, Speaking of "Nazi Gestabo", the Pittsburgh Rockets famous headgear was original bought from the German goverment and were used by that countries police force....Maybe a story for another time.....

Pgh Guy Bari 2 John G That might be a idea for a Mike Boo column. "Your Uniform Came from Where?". Westshoremen was in the middle of the used uniform market in the mid 1970s. Bought used Blue Devil unis in 1976. Then I saw on another thread that the NY Defenders bought the unis we got rid of when we bought from BD. Funny thing was the cadet style jackets we sold to Defenders didn't "breathe" worth a crap so you had humidity of 150% inside. Always thought they ended up in the Toxic Waste dump instead of being "recycled". b**bs Edited June 29, 2006 by JimF-xWSMBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
