The Rise of The Bib Shirt 
   In the 1870s, some young men began to wear distinctive bib-front shirts. The shirt was worn by firemen and baseball players. This is very much like someone today wearing a football jersey of their favorite team. The bib shirt style utilized the distinctive shield that provided extra warmth around the chest, acting as a windbreaker to block cold winter winds and could be embellished with flashy designs. The number (below) probably refers to a specific fire unit, but in the Kid's case, the reason for the nautical theme (an anchor) is anyone's guess.
