    I'd love to know what the uniform site uses as source material for its database. The only thing I can think of is newspaper photos from games, albeit they would have been black-and-white back then.
    Black and white back then ??? How old are you ??
    Colour photography had been around for decades at that point.

    Sure, but not in newspapers. Colour pix made only the front page, and even then not very often (and not at all in some papers like the Globe and Mail). Colour pages throughout the entire paper did not arrive until the 1990s.
