They always spark debate ... so where is Forrest Gregg? Everything I've read IDs him as an all-time great and this appears to be 'his' team. Was his exclusion an oversight or was he just over-rated (in your opinion)? Same question applies to Yary and Shell, who excelled at this position in the 70's. I'd love to hear your opinion.<br />JohnJohn Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568702690028419750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-20622720720356761822016-06-24T12:26:39.332-06:002016-06-24T12:26:39.332-06:00I think the artists were trying to capture the edg...I think the artists were trying to capture the edge of the tackle twill numbers, outside the sewing line, that gave the illusion of a white edge.

Detroit did not start wearing a home jersey with silver numbers outlined in white until 1972. Lary retired in 1964 and Lane retired in 1965 when Detroit's home numbers were solid silver.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173417780695697453noreply@blogger.com
