Although the outline of the original 7 is present, can anyone familiar with Yankees flannels of this era provide their thoughts on this style number being used in 1958? I can't remember the 7's having the "base" on the end, rather, it was a vertical 7, almost like the one currently on the shirt.

Any insight is appreciated.

After additional research, It appears this is correct, however, I'd be interested to know if this style of 7 was the norm for only 1958 or for other seasons?
