Trick question: contemporary shirts have no collar.

Inquiring Minds Want To Know ...
Poet collar, a soft shirt collar, often with long points, worn by Romantic poets such as Lord Byron, or a 1970s style reminiscent of this.

Check out any footbal zebra and you will see one. Stripes with a black color and zippered front. WAY hotter than the V-neck and the only basketball shirt available before the v-neck.

Where did they line up for free throws back then? I don't see any lane spaces.

Also, does the free throw line look really close to anyone else? Did it used to be closer?

I love how spacious that gym is. Would have been a blast to work in there.

I think they gathered wherever they felt like for FTs.....jockeying for position under the basket for the best rebounding position.

I knew someone would drag one of these out when I posted that... or one of the old greyish/tannish ones like in Hoosiers.
