We’ve seen Spencer, we’ve seen Shea. Now it’s Raymond’s time to be crowned Vintage Seattle Player O The Week.

The popped collar has enjoyed a resurgence in the past few years — will 3/4 length sleeves be next? Click on the thumbnails for higher-res versions.

    Poor Raymond. He looks that way because a) He’s still uncomfortable with his huge ears, b) He looks dumb in a hat.
