In terms of popularity nothing comes close to the sweaters.For already two decades, since Carol Nesmith conquered the Philippines with his yellow legged peacomb chickens, these birds we now know to be the sweaters have remained on top of the Philippine cocking scene.
The Sweaters that are now here are no longer monopoly of Nesmith. Bruce Barnett, Dink Fair,and many other Americans who breed the sweater have contributed their bloodline to the sweater mania in the Philippines. Several Filipinos have also made names because of the sweaters. Sonny Lagon, Nene Abello, the Red Gamefarm, Frances Lumonsad and many others produce excellent specimen of the sweater.
Then there are hundreds more of Filipinos who breed the sweater. Rightly, because the sweaters are good looking and they are all-around fighters that can easily attract the fancy of spectators, bettors and buyers.The sweater is responsible for the obvious bias of Filipino cockfighters in favor of the red yellow legged pea comb chickens.
