1949 Socks
Description: The Newark Bears were an American Minor League Baseball team that played in the top-level International League from 1917 through the 1949 season. The Bears succeeded the Newark Indians, originally the Sailors, who played in the same circuit (known as the Eastern League prior to 1912) from 1902. During the Bears' lifetime, the International League was graded one step below the Major League Baseball level, Class AA through 1945 and Triple-A starting in 1946. Following the 1949 season, the Bears moved to Springfield, Massachusetts.
Description: A graphic featuring the text "HIROSHIMA" in red at the top. Two koi fish, one red and white, the other blue and white, flank a baseball with "1949" printed on it. Below the baseball are Japanese characters, and at the bottom, the word "Carp" is written in a stylized red script.
Description: Moto Laverda was an Italian high performance motorcycle manufacturer. Their bikes were held in high regard, and had a reputation for being extremely robust. The roots of the Laverda go back to 1873, when Pietro Laverda started an agricultural engines enterprise in Breganze, Italy. 76 years later, Pietro's grandson founded Moto Laverda, and over the next 20 years, would go on to produce models in different sectors of the market. Off-road, trial and motocross machines were developed in conjunction with other manufacturers, and were successfully raced, but the real development came in street models. From an initial 75cc single, to a 1000cc V6, Laverdas were exciting bikes, but sadly, Japanese competition was ultimately their undoing.
Description: Bringing a little west coast style to Chicago, Richard's Drive-In opened their first location in 1949. While we're not totally sure what the twin mascots were about, they were a part of Richard's branding since day one, including having the drive-in's signature California Twinburger named after them. By the mid'50s, Richard's had half a dozen locations in Illinois and additional locations in Cambridge, Detroit, and New York.
