I don't think you have established anything. First of all, the font is not the same as your example. Moreover, that style of lettering was not uncommon on jerseys of the time period (as given by Barry - with which I agree). I can't prove it isn't Louisville, but it could be any town starting with an "L."

I don't know...it looks extremely similar to the logo especially the font face. Granted there are a few differences, but keep in mind I am using a modern Louisville logo as my example and logos change over years. I fully stand by my belief that the player featured in the picture played for a Louisville team.

Now granted you are right, it could be any city that starts with a L...however, being somebody who has lived in Louisville, and has researched thier history in basketball, football, baseball, etc. I still believe that Louisville is the best guess at this point.

To each thier own though.

There is no guessing in identifying players or teams. That player could represent any team that started with the letter "L". Even if you produce a known photo of a Louisville player with a similar uniform, without any provenance at all that tintype will remain unknown.

agreed. Too many options. You can have research angles but have to be willing to keep your mind open to the multitude of possibilities. To say "it is most likely" probably is a bit strong. Especially without any evidence. It's totally legit to have a feeling or a hunch, just back it up with some evidence.
