After seeing your breaks I'm still thinking that retro style doesn't fit very well with modern football, A&G looks fresh, colorful, vibrant, this is probably because baseball didn't look so much different from 100 years to now, I would like to see a kind of recycling from 70's and early 80's for a football retro product instead of this that looked so boring.

An email printed on page 4 of the Feb/March Beckett Baseball is signed Chris Harris. Is that you?

Chris Harris said...

Yes it is.
