Was photographed repeatedly in this uniform - the last one he wore as a player.THE TENURE OF THE “BEES”Perhaps out of desparation to stimulate sagging attendance or to shake off an image of endless futility, the Boston National League Club re-christened themselves BEES to start the 1936 season. This general uniform scheme was continued through the 1935 season with some modifications along the way - Sox striping was changed several times, when numbers were added to the shirt back the Indian head was transplanted to the sleeve, and navy blue was restored in the trim scheme by 1935. The same combination was repeated in 1930 with a “Pilgrim hat” patch added to the left sleeve to observe the Boston Tricentennial year. The BRAVES lettering of past seasons was repeated on the shirt fronts in red with gold outline trim plus a new twist - a smaller version of the Indian head was positioned smack in the middle of the BRAVES letters. Stockings were basically red with a yellow striped pattern at the calf.
