I've had another Don moment   :D

This is his 1st Minnesota picture.


But the Bull Run cards, the Military Modelling mags and a bunch of re-enactors have them in check shirts and black wide brimmed hats. Yadiya.

Don it is, more Perry Miniatures ACW in shirt and havelocks please  lol

These three are going to be part of the 27th Virginia, but it looks like they'll stand in for all kinds of units on both sides in this battle!

I know, I support Nottingham Forest, est. 1865 and our red shirt shirt is still called the Garibaldi.

Nottingham football not only received inspiration from Italy, it went in the other direction, too. Juventus FC play in black and white, originally in emulation of Notts County.


It's funny things have got on to Notts Forest: I met a bloke in the pub this weekend, who I hadn't seen in about 25 years. We were reminiscing about a mini-bus trip to Nottingham to see Forest against Hereford in the FA cup. As I recall he was arrested and we had to leave him there. He was eventually fined 95 quid for being drunk and disorderly and breach of the peace (there was no fighting or anything like that, though). Never knew that until now. Expensive old day out. lol

Now then, a Forest fan has no problem with Notts Forest, but that sends County fans apoplectic.

'It's NOTTINGHAM Forest, we're Notts!'  lol lol

You are right, the Juventus shirt comes from borrowing/ being sent a load of Notts County shirts back in the 19th C. Similarly, the Arsenal red originates from being lent a load of Forest Garibaldis back in the day.

Were you following Hereford in 2006? My other team is Halifax Town, I went along to watch us play you in Leicester in the Conference play-off finals.

No, I had given up on actually going to football matches by that point. I have been to see Hereford play in Halifax several times, though, including in 93 when Halifax were relegated on the last day of the season. That was emotional. We followed them into the Conference a few years later, and both teams have since gone out of business and then been resurrected in new iterations. So we have a quite a bit in common.

Just read that you are using them for the 27th VA. I thought it was the 11th NY Fire Zouaves.
