He never got paid by Hummel as he painted white over in Nike boots & it rained & they reverted to black lol Plus his luck was out the game was televised ..... so at some time you maybe correct he reverted to his black boots, but I am sure he still wore white boots them when he left us - sobBally question. Can anyone remember when Bally began wearing the white Hummel boots? I thought it was from 70/71 season. I don't recall him wearing them in the Chamionship season.
