White Rock continued
An alternate signboard with white/light lettering was used in some of the other NY ballparks. I've seen it on the 1911 Washington Park RCF wall and the early Polo Grounds IV LCF outfield wall.
I redid the lettering based on their ad in a 1921 World Series souvenir program. It took awhile to find a detailed image that revealed the alternate slogan, which I wouldn't have figured it out otherwise. What I'm having trouble with is determining the background color. In the previous post, their 1910s print ad features yellow and red primary colors and a true green secondary color. Also, vintage store signs with white lettering have a deep/navy blue background. None of those colors appear to match the ballpark photos.
I'm posting two interpretations derived from shades of the blue and green used in the vintage memorabilia.
