Yes,they wore a sky blue Zouave outfit. I heard there is either a small living history regiment that does the 146th or a least a couple guys. Like to take a look at them. Maybe go Yankee once in a while in those fancy duds.

There is a toy company that has a 146th action figure ,and I have one. Looks good even in small scale.
