Hi everyone-
I recently picked up this great looking card of Bulldog Turner and Brian Urlacher.
I loved the Bulldog patch, but after I did some investigating, I can not come up with any example of the Bears wearing this type of jersey in the years Bulldog Turner played (1940-1952).
The Bears website says "By 1949, the team introduces what will become its distinctive uniform number font style for the next half-century, with classic "rounded" numerals in white on the navy jersey."
I can't find any examples of this jersey style until well after Bulldog retired.
I was hoping that Leaf would show a picture of the original jersey on the back of the card, but no such luck.
Is this card a mistake or a fraud from Leaf?
Thanks for any help on this issue,
Alex
