My Dad (Jim Small) had the privilege of wearing the Detroit Tiger "old English D" back in the mid-50's. Well, as life-long Tiger fan I learned something today that kind of floored me a little...
The "old English D" on the Detroit Tigers baseball cap -- does not match the "old English D" on their home uniform. Can you believe it!!!
Take a look at the photos above -- you'll note the "old English D" on the Tigers baseball cap has "two bars" while the "old English D" on the uniform has "three bars."
The "old English D" did match until the 60's -- in fact the Detroit Tigers longtime Clubhouse Manager Jim Schmakel admits he was with the Detroit Tigers 15 years before he realized they didn't match. The Tigers do not know why the two logos don't match.
What's up with that!!!???
