Spike Posted February 16, 2008 #1 Posted February 16, 2008 This shirt stirred a few different opinions as to whether it was real or not, through a little research I feel it's the real deal. The thing that kinda bothered me was the fact that guys were so quick to dismiss this shirt as a fake for what I feel were some close minded reasons....anybody interested in those reasons can go and read the topic. Anyway, I though I'd show some examples out of my collection to show the various ways that UDT and SEAL shirts were worn in the 60's and 70's. Shirt from a VN era SEAL who just missed deployment, got this shirt directly from the guy.
Spike Posted February 16, 2008 Author #2 Posted February 16, 2008 These shirt all have the "U.S.NAVY" tape that some thought was commercial/fake.
Spike Posted February 16, 2008 Author #3 Posted February 16, 2008 This shirt was also discussed. I won this shirt off eBay and when I got it yesterday I found out that the shoulder patch is one I have never seen before, I didn't even notice it until today. I have never seen a UDT patch with UDT-11 on the bottom, they almost always say Team 11, 12 or 13. Also, it appears that another US NAVY tape and jump wing(Army jump wing) were changed to these shown.
Spike Posted February 16, 2008 Author #4 Posted February 16, 2008 The back side, you can see faint traces of where the original patches were and you can also see that these current patches have been on there for a really long time. This shirt is probably from around the 1964-66 period.
Spike Posted February 16, 2008 Author #5 Posted February 16, 2008 These pics show the same kind of US NAVY/jumpwings though the photos are a bit fuzzy. These pics are around 65 or 66. More later....
Mr-X Posted February 16, 2008 #6 Posted February 16, 2008 Thanks for showing us. They are very nice examples.
