Baseball uniforms

With where sports has gone since, him loaning his car keys to players should put him in the NCAA Hall of Fame and Compassion.

I was a toddler when all that was going on so I don’t remember first hand. I did read Ron Gomez’s book and several other articles over the years. That is the first time I have heard Shipley got the death penalty for loaning his car keys to players.

Yep

Many of the NCAA violations were due to the extreme Jim Crow laws in place at the time. Shipley was a freedom fighter even if his fights also helped him as a coach.

Nope, they weren't through the Fletcher years. You can go back and look at photos during the Paschal and Hatfield from 1975-1986 and they never wore any uniforms with black trim anywhere. It was Vermilion and White.

I don't believe you are correct.

I scanned every yearbook from the era and none (so far) show the trim you speak of.

I will have to take a pic of my blackham poster when I get home later.

Yep

I am sure there had to be more than that? The NCAA would have looked silly to issue the death penalty for that.

. . . he may have had 6 or 7 cars . . .

The university threw coach shipley and coach cox under the bus. Read the book and if you get a chance to talk to Tom Cox (asst. coach) with Shipley you will be so angry to what the university did to them and the program.

Read the book and he admitted to a number of violations, regardless of his motivation.

no support from the university and I'll go as far and say they were involved in reporting shipley to the NCAA. Nothing warranted the death penalty.

Nope, I don't remember any black trim. One of the Rebounders Clubs members has an Andrey Toney jersey with his signature framed. Its Vermilion and White, with stripes in the same color combination. There is no black trim.

These are the throwback, the old uniforms did not have the fleur de lis. This is no black.
