ROGUES CONCEPT UNIFORM, 1978


This uniform, as far as I know, was only worn twice. Once by Hugh O'Neill in a local ad for a McDonald's Restaurant ticket promotion and again in a print ad showing the worldwide popularity of soccer. Both appearances were early in 1978, before the start of the season. The print ad was posted previously. The "player" in the print ad was not an actual Rogues player. I am trying to find a copy of the McDonald's ad but have had no luck.
Thanks logoshak.com for the image.
