I have always loved the Fez, at least since Mr C. wore one on Happy Days for the Leopard Lodge. Also do not forget Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton with their Racoon Lodge on the Honeymooners. Still, I would have to be really loaded to wear one. Local rock legends, the Slickee Boys just did a 30th anniversary gig a couple of weeks ago. Singer Mark Noone did the second set in a bowling shirt and a Fez. In fact he said, "I have a collection of around 40 Fezs and if you come see enough gigs, you will see them all". I have an early 60s Washington Redskins program from a preseason game. Its called the Alma Bowl named after the lodge. Great pictures of future HOF player Bobby Mitchell next to guys in Fezs.
