Page "Super Dave Osborne" Paragraph 10

Trademark components of the Super Dave character include his frequent thumbs-ups, and his many uniforms-most of which include red, white and blue, yellow stars, and stripes, somewhat reminiscent of those worn by Evel Knievel.

He was also known for only using " Genuine Saskatchewan Sealskin bindings " in the manufacture of his safety harnesses or seatbelts ( not that they ever did him any good ).

Seals are not indigenous to the landlocked province Saskatchewan, and are therefore part of the comedic juxtaposition predicated on the eventual failure of the stunt by being both " genuine sealskin " and from Saskatchewan.
