Husky Jr.” appears to be the model name, not merely a size designation. Hutch marketed several youth pad lines, and “Junior” models were commonly sold for Pee Wee and youth leagues during the post-war football boom. The canvas body, cotton padding, lace-front closure, and relatively small shoulder caps are characteristic of 1950s-era youth shoulder pads, rather than the larger plastic-shell designs that became common in the late 1960s and 1970s. Original laces present. Nice ivory/off-white patina. Manufacturer: Hutch Athletic Goods. Model: Husky Jr. Likely production period: 1955–1965. Most probable date: around 1958–1962. This is a 1950-1960's Era Vintage Youth Hutch SP Football Shoulder Pads - HUSKY JR Model. Image of actual item in stock - as shown
