The location of background colors on this award was a departure from the tradition blue background on top and the red background on the bottom. Both upper and lower backgrounds are made from cloth. Some earlier 1950s Winner shields, however, have embroidered blue backgrounds in the upper portion and red cloth backgrounds in the lower portion.
See the photograph of fourteen year old Doug Larson showing the back of his jacket. In the middle is the same 1956 Winner shield that is seen in this exhibit.
