oilfaninvan Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 The first time i ever saw "drop shadow" on Jersey #'s was the 49ers. Were they the first to use this? also, what is the specific colour of the 49ers gold? i think the edmonton eskimos should use the 49ers gold and make the green darker. thanks. oilfan.

sj32 Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Looking at NHLuniforms.com, it looks like the New York Americans were the first team to use the dropshadowed numbers. The Amerks started using them in the 1930-31 season. The Rangers started using them in 1941-42. As far as football is concerned, I believe the Cleveland Browns were the first to use them. They used them throughout their existence in the AAFC (1946-49) and for a few seasons after joining the NFL in 1950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChefShark Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 the 49ers did use shadow numbers on thier very first uniforms in 1946. the 75th anniversary throwbacks they wore and won thier last super bowl in are the uniforms from 1946, andy they wore red helmets with them too if you believe that.

sj32 Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I wasn't sure about the '46 Niners because the only team you ever see pictures of from the AAFC is the Browns.P.S. The CMYK formula I have for 49er Gold is 5c 20m 50y 20k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
