I've got a photograph of the three in golfing attire hung on my wall here. But in different outfits. The checkered duds on the chip are much more colorful, although Curly risks looking like Bob's Big Boy!
The Three Stooges received no royalties for their 30 years of shorts - think a film has to run 30 minutes to be eligible for such earnings. And I understand they never received a salary increase. Got $20,000 a year (a lot in the 30's, peanuts by the 50's). So they resorted to various money-making promo items, which perhaps keep being released to this day.
