Depends on if they have even been washed. I want to be able to smell the history!

I don't really want to vote on fruit and vegetables that look like non-Jews, thank you very much. ;)

These would be a lot more significant if they were 1965, iirc. Wasn't that the year UTEP (then Texas Western) was an all-black team and beat Rupp's white Kentucky team in a watershed game for sports racial equality?

That was 1966 and these were worn during the championship game.
