I am sooooo old that I can remember when all us 7th-8th graders HAD to have the day-glo socks like that. Also came in a sort of red-orange shade, but the chartreuse was the best. I'm talking circa 1949 or so. How would you like to see a game played on Boise's blue field (or E. Washington's red field) with a team wearing those socks?
