It's Back!  March Madness!

Union Suit Fans: Last March, I posted a photo and article received from my very good friend of many years, Joe of New York City. He has a great eye for the unusual and has contributed much to my blogs. This time, his contribution featured a 1930's basketball team that played all of their games wearing only union suits and sneakers! Seriously!

What with the NCAA basketball championships beginning next week, I thought it worth a look back at one of my favorite postings. Hope you agree: 

Talk About March Madness! 

The February 20, 1938 Life Magazine featured a Detroit semi-pro basketball team who played their games wearing only union suits with sneakers. How's that for March Madness? Bet you won't see this in the 2024 NCAA Basketball playoffs!

The team was called "The Original Undies."  Really, no joke!  Their team leader boasted they were "the only basketball team in the world completely attired in union suits." These players acutally play in their one-piece, short-sleeved, button-down long underwear. Nearly laughed off the court in their union suits each game, these boys managed to win a few! No joke! The well dressed Harlem Globe-Trotters had nothing on them!

Thanks to Joe of New York City for sending me this appropriate basketball playoff photo and article as another college March Madness gets underway.
