The Eye of the Beholder: The 1971 Spanjian Catalog - Stripes
As introduced yesterday, the 1971 Spanjian catalog is the epitome of ugly commercial art directed toward football.
Today’s story is my ugly Christmas sweater gift to you, covering the catalog’s numbers, lettering, and sleeve and pant stripes. After today’s gift, you still have two more covering:
Warmups, Parkas, and Coaching Gear
Other Sports
Unlike the rest of the catalog images, some of today’s are attractive or, at least, offer the most impressive selection of stripes you will find under the sun. Enjoy unwrapping the gifts below:
The next two images are rather impressive for their completeness.
Come back over the next few days for additional gifts of the season.

I love the sleeve stripes options available
