Cricket Sportswear

These iconographic images of Cricket Sportswear having stopping power.
 Jaunty…obtuse…fetching…curious…I see all of that.
 But there’s an undeniable Doctor T. J. Eckleburgian presence therein.
 God...God?

"The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic-their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent nose….We were all irritable now with the fading ale and, aware of it, we drove for a while in silence. Then as Doctor T. J. Eckleburg's faded eyes came into sight down the road I remembered Gatsby's caution about gasoline." 

Onward. Just in from Athens Georgia. And pretty much Gatsby’d out.
ADG, II
