1923 Dayton Triangles progress

[Coach Shawn]

My daughter had made great progress on my Dayton Triangles.  Not finished but had to show them anyway.

She has the whole team painted to this level right now.

Wow--great!

I saw those figs online, but listed as "sold out" or something.  I'd love to make two teams with them.  How do they compare size-wise with the standard Haiti repros?  And were they purchased recently?

My youngest daughter bought them as my Christmas gift and my middle daughter is painting them.

they might be just a tad smaller to the size of Regular tudor teams.  See the picture below.   That is a Tudor RB from the Panthers.

If you don't mind me asking where did you get the players

[Coach Shawn]

They are from ITZ bases.

Not sure but they may be sold out .  It appears that they are in the process of making new ones that will be a larger size.

Love this!  We’re any of the 20s teams colorful at all?

I think so.   Here is a website that I use when researching uniforms.

Check it out.  Several teams in the NFL came and went throughout the 1920’s and so there is a wide variety of uniforms.

Yeah, pretty much just travel clubs hitching on for a while.  Interesting to see the names and cities.  They probably never thought about existing for over 100 years

One thing about the players of the 20's and 30's. They were a lot smaller than today's players and wore less padding.

Hall of Famer Wilbur “Pete” Henry, aka “Fats,” was one of the NFL’s largest and most dominant linemen in the 1920s at 5 feet 11 inches and 245 pounds, but would be dwarfed by present-day players such as 6 foot 6 inch, 313-pound New Orleans offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk.

Some Canton Bulldogs with the figures that you used for your Triangles would be sweet, Coach Shawn

Yes, I had a difficult time picking between Canton, Dayton, and Rock Island.
