Pictures would help...
I dont have picks I just rembered seeing these and my buddy brought it up....haven't seen one in at least 3-4 years....I'm pretty sure they had all kinds of colors in them like pink red black etc........figured someone like the resident nokona historian mr rous would know exactly what I was talking about and fill us in!!!!

2007-2008 Nokona had a partner that thought the key to expansion was moving down the price/quality ladder (to compete with lower level Mizunos, Rawlings, and Wilsons). They had a factory in China make a bunch of gloves.
If the model number starts with an AMG, it was made in the USA. Also, some USA made mitts don't start with AMG. But even some USA made gloves made in Massachusetts were not well made (mostly models that are not still made).
WHen in doubt, ask here!!!

Might have came across a couple of these yesterday at a SA close by. They were on clearance for 80 bucks I think. They were AMG1200 I believe. 12 inch glove anyways... The leather was horrible and the gloves were so out off form is was ridiculous...not sure how those could have passed quality control they were that bad. They did have a few smaller insignias which were pretty nice, not to get off topic though.
