Bear Bryant didn't wear houndstooth you putzes

This picture was the tipping point for me. I've seen bama fans deck anything and everything out in houndstooth over the last several years. Paying homage to tradition is one thing but it's moved on to idol worship. Which would even be somewhat understandable, if Bear Bryant actually wore houndstooth. I'm not the first person to address this, but I'd like to hear a reasonable answer. Every single picture of Bear Bryant online shows him wearing a hat, usually black and white plaid but sometimes other colors. Not once, anywhere on the internet can you find a clear picture of Bear Bryant wearing a houndstooth hat. They aren't out there. And in case you don't know the difference:

So please, anyone, tell me how this got warped into an obsession of houndstooth? And really to most college age bama fans, that's what it is right now, a worship of a pattern and not the Coach who died before they were born. So I'm begging anyone to find a picture of Bear Bryant wearing houndstooth and send it to me.
