Here’s Hockey! (1953)

Posted in Fifties, hockey, Oh Canada on October 8, 2009 by All Conference Vintage

Ahhhh, there’s a slight nip in the air here in Phoenix (we’ve dropped below 90 degrees a few times lately) and a young man’s thoughts turn to hockey- despite the fact that the Coyotes have their bags packed for points unknown. You absolutely must drop everything and watch this short film! Great vintage hockey sweaters throughout!

thanks to Uniwatch for the heads up!

Simpsons Sears Catalog (1957)

Posted in ephemera, Fifties, hockey, Oh Canada on December 30, 2008 by All Conference Vintage

Snapped from the Simpsons- Sears catalog, 1957, generously shared by Flickr user Wishbook. I really dig the Hawks sweater and I would definitely take advantage of the complete set savings for toque, sweater, and stockings. The lad models were obviously not enforcers- they are far too pretty. I’m tempted to export this into Microsoft Paint to add some Frankenstein facial scars.
Simpsons-Sears also had a great logo in the Fifties, according to Wikipedia.
