To begin the series, Peter Capolino, a longtime Fleisher supporter and founder of Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Company, will lead a discussion on the art and design of the Philadelphia Eagles' uniforms.
Capolino will present examples of the different uniforms used from 1933 to 1993, present historical design and graphic insights, and discuss how the textile industry and fabrics have evolved since the beginning of the football franchise. Capolino presented a wildly popular talk focused on baseball uniforms at Fleisher last spring.
Capolino's uniform collections have become an established part of the sports lore of Philadelphia, and he is currently developing historically accurate shawl collared button front wool sweaters as worn by Major League Baseball teams from 1901 through 1930. Capolino has been interviewed extensively on ABC, ESPN, and MTV, and his public speaking engagements have included presentations at the Philadelphia Public Library, The National Constitution Center, and various other venues around the country.
