Two players with round ornaments attached to their shirts and pants are standing on the left side of the group. Most of the other players are wearing subdued, European-style clothing, but some are wearing boldly patterned shirts, one with stars and stripes. Several of the men are wearing neckties or hats, and one is wearing a small feathered headdress.
