First Frogskins Color?

[Hune]

Does anyone know what color the first pair of Frogskins that rolled off the line were? I know there were multiple color options back in '85, but I'm curious which ones were actually first. Or maybe just which ones were in the very first ad.

Matte black, matte white, matte rootbeer, polished clear. Were the first 4 colors offered. I'd imagine the first prototype.would have been a matte black.

Yeah probably the case for the first production proto for sake of cost. But the very very 1st studio prototype was probably cardboard, popsicle sticks, wire and hot glue if we're being honest, ha.
