Show Us Your College Game Used Items

[cohibasmoker]

Hey sports fans, how about a thread just for college game used items? We have a NFL section so why not a college section? I'll start off with a vintage 1970's Georgia Bulldogs game worn helmet that I picked up within the past few Months. The seller was a tad-off on his dates and I edited some of the email because of some private and/or personal comments. His email gives us a little insight on how UGA prepared for opposing teams.

When I got the helmet, it was absent a two-bar facemask and thanks to Curtis at the Helmet Hut, he was able to provide me with a replacement facemask that seems to compliment the helmet very well.

Written inside the helmet is the #88. I haven't a clue who may have owned the helmet but any information would be appreciated.

Jim,

I'll give you a little background on the helmet. Its an old (60's) helmet from the University of Georgia. The reason it has the Alabama style numbers on the sides is that it was last used in practice to simulate an Alabama player. UGA like most colleges, has the scout team (B-team) run the next opponent's offence and defense against the Georgia offence and defense. I don't know if number 32 was an Alabama offensive or defensive player, but he was someone that the Georgia players were keying on. I played for UGA 67 thru 70. I acquired the helmet as the result of a charity/old-timers football game in about 1976. The UGA Athletic Department donated some old equipment for the game.

Just picked up a awesome Donta Jones Nebraska helmet from the 1994 season. On the back of the helmet, there is a College Football 125th Anniversary sticker which dates the helmet to 1994. In 1994, Nebraska won the National Championship. Donta Jones was elected to the Nebraska HOF in 2007.

It's a Bike helmet with unbelievable wear.

Here are some game-used football jerseys from my alma mater, UAB. All of the players in the group photo made it to the NFL with the most prominent being Pro-Bowl wideout Roddy White (#10) of the Atlanta Falcons and Bryan Thomas (#46) of the New York Jets. Both players were first-round draft choices; not bad for a school whose football program has been Division I for less than 15 years.

Sorry, I'm not looking to move my Pirates jerseys at this time. Still looking to get thier other variations from that period. I also have a pair of black '82 and '80 yellow game pants. I like the DESCENTE unforms, but the players must have roasted in them during the summer months.

How about a nice UGA helmet? Here’s a vintage 1970’s game worn used University of Georgia (UGA) Bulldogs Riddell Kra-Lite suspension football helmet. The helmet shows plenty of wear and tear but it still has its original Riddell suspension webbing and Warning label on the inside of the helmet. Also written inside of the helmet is the number 88. Although the helmet looks like a Alabama helmet, the seller provided the following information on the helmet:

If you will throw in ten bucks for shipping, its yours. While your thinking about it, I'll give you a little background on the helmet. Its an old (60's) helmet from the University of Georgia. The reason It has the Alabama style numbers on the sides is that it was last used in practice to simulate an Alabama player. UGA like most colleges, has the scout team (B-team) run the next opponent's offence and defense against the Georgia offence and defense. I don't know if number 32 was an Alabama offensive or defensive player, but he was someone that the Georgia players were keying on. I played for UGA 67 thru 70. I acquired the helmet as the result of a charity/old-timers football game in about 1976. The UGA Athletic Department donated some old equipment for the game.

The seller appears to have made a typo as to when the helmet was actually worn. Since the helmet is a Riddell Model Kra-Lite – 8 with a white interior, it was probably worn between 1970 and up to around 1973.

With College Football just around the corner (yeah!) and my new personal disdain for the NFL after what is clearly a league of haves and have mores, I wanted to dust off this old thread, instead of starting a new one.
Though I have many Penn State Alum NFL game used items, I will stick to showing my college worn items only.

The one non PSU college item I love, a NAVY game worn helmet. Bought from the Academy in Annapolis. I do also own a football players game worn jacket, but I wear it because it fits me and was only $10!

Daryll Clark signed and game worn cleat.

Bani Gbadyu signed and game worn cleats.

I also have tons of in-person Penn State signed retail helmets and photos as well. PSU are very tough to get legitimate items from that are game used, especially of their star players. Sadly, that is why I own so much of the alums items once they play in the NFL, because it is much more accessible and affordable (sometimes).

thanks

Who manufactured your early 1980s #35?

thanks

It is a gold label Russell Athletic size L, so I would date it as pre 1982. Any help in narrowing

[both-teams-played-hard]

I would think game photos would be the only way to distinguish Hawaii jersey styles. Yes, pre-1982. Could be from the mid to late 70s.

[beaglegypsy003]

I've been trying to narrow the timeline by looking at media guides and programs. The jersey shows heavy game use. I was hoping that it might have been worn by Keoni Jardine but no luck in matching it. I also have a white #34 with the old style Champion tag but I don't know what year it is from.

[grandpahoo]

I have a lot of game used items from the University of Virginia, but this is probably my favorite - Patrick Kerney's away jersey from 1996, which he was wearing when he got his first collegiate sack.

Simply beautiful! Brings back great memories from my time there at school :o. Unfortunately, it will also always burn me up how they got robbed of a National Title that season :(. Awesome jersey nonetheless.

One more college gamer:

Derek Loville Japan Bowl game worn jersey. Made by Champion and signed back and front. He played at the Un. of Oregon and went to high school in SF.
His best year was in 1995 with his hometown 49ers, rushing for 723 yards and 10 TDs. He also caught 87 passes for 662 yards and 3 receiving TDs that year.

I also have his SB XXIX worn jersey. It was worn the entire post season and has a few repairs. He did play on special teams in SB XXIX and was also part of Denver's 2 SB wins.

I need to resize the Loville SB images before I can post em.

Always buying quality 49er gamers and ANY 1994 49er gamer. Paying a finders fee as well.

Hi all,
Just wanted to post a few from my UNLV collection. I attended UNLV from '87-'92 and actually got to try out, on Tark's invite, for the 1990 team, the eventual Nat'l Champs that year! What a blast that was for me! Anyway, I have had this stuff for a long time and am acquiring more through time. Check out the RARE 1-piece Nike's!

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the compliments! My MD helmet was manufactured in '08, so it has three re-certification stickers from 2009-2011. What I find curious is that it was also re-certificated for 2011. I can only assume the equipment staff had not yet been aware they were switching helmet styles.

I would love to see pictures of your helmet!

Just picked this up today. Fred Gibson 2004 Game Used Away Jersey and Pants. Still trying to photomatch the jersey. It may have been the Kentucky Game in 04. It has a couple of Blue marks on it. Notes a couple of Helmet Rubs on the Shoulder Numbers. Pants are the Corect size being he wore a size 28. Go Dawgs!!

[Shipp_96]

After losing out on an auction for another worn helmet, I just picked this up as a nice consolation prize. Game worn Florida Gators helmet, bought from the Gators SEC store.

[tom1315]

Shipp_96...very nice Gator helmet! When you have a moment let us know who wore and what season(s)...also a huge "THANK YOU" to Shipp...

I saw his UCF Wounded Warrior helmet pictured above and after looking at his photos and the ones on Getty Images from the 11.19.2011 game with the Miami Huuricances decided I had to have one. The "U" won...6 to 3...on a last minute FG.

It arrived yesterday...# 52 worn by UCF LB Terran Buck and it is amazing! Pictures really do not tell you how special the camo is on this DNA Schutt shell...absolutely one of my 'top 10' in the collection. It's unbelievable and unique in my collection, which is primarily ACC and SEC lids.

Also picked up a 2007 Univ of Miami helmet off eBay. It's genuine...has the correct ACC label on the front and the center stripe has the correct gold sparkle specks in it. Has the correct orange "Warning" label on the back yet no
US flag on player number...my sense a practice helmet...now I have four Miami gamers...

Shipp 96, happy to...send me your email and I will send you pictures of the MD helmet. My email tholder1315@gmail.com.

Hey Tom, glad you got one of the USF helmets and like it! As I said, pictures really don't do them justice.

The Gators helmet is from 2010, the back stickers match that season. I have yet to receive it (pictures are from the website), so when it comes I can let you know about the re-certification stickers.

[Shipp_96]

Really wish there was an edit feature on here. So, long story short the photos I posted previously were of the Florida Gators helmet I thought I was getting, but the SEC Store had different ideas. After four emails I got a $60 partial refund to keep this helmet they ended up sending me instead.

Game worn Gators helmet from 2010 season. Has Sanders crossed out in sharpie inside the shell, but being that is the name of their practice field, I assume it refers to that and not a player.

[Shipp_96]

Game worn ISU Cyclones helmet from the 2011 season. Worn by #52 LB Jeremiah George.

Picked this up this weekend - Notre Dame game worn jersey - but not sure of the era. Anyone have any insight? Thanks in advance!!

[beavisrules]

Preston,
That is NOT a University of Notre Dame game worn jersey - I suspect it is a Notre Dame high school jersey, or some other school with Notre Dame in its name. I can say this with the utmost certainty, because Notre Dame has never used Russell Athletic jerseys. Sorry.

[genius]

Nice cheap ND Faust era ebay pickup here. Beavis--any idea who "AJ" was (maybe an assistant coach's initials)? Could there be any connection to Allen Pinkett (#20)? Thanks!

[UTeric3232]

Just picked up 3 Billy Pittman jerseys, bought them all together from some dude who bought everything directly from Billy (including championship rings, etc). Billy was the leading receiver on that national championship team.

Just won this today...I simply couldn't pass this one up. A game worn Chick-Fil-A Bowl UVA Hoos helmet! Worn by #64 Nick Koutris. It was also signed by Head Coach Mike London. Originally sold by the UVA student store.

[tom1315]

Picked up two nice game worn jerseys at NC State's Spring game on April 21st. These were worn at the Central Michigan game on 10/08/2011. State won 38 to 24.

First time ever the Pack has worn black jerseys and brought back their red shell helmets with white block "S" letters. Last time we wore red shells was the 1999 season.

At the Spring Game picked up # 21 Tony Creecy's jersey. He was a RS-FR and had 61 yards on 16 carries. Also obtained # 41 Dwayne Maddox's jersey...a SR - LB for us.

Enjoy!

Some additional pictures of the NC State jerseys. The 1st picture is of the front of the Creecy jersey and the second is what is screen-printed in the collar of each jersey. The helmet in the 1st picture with the Maddox jersey is one from the 1999 season with the diamond 'NCS."

Enjoy! Tom

Time to revive this thread ...

2002 Miami Hurricanes Sinorice Moss green game used fiesta bowl national championship jersey. Has "1" marked next to the size in the tag. Jersey is also autographed. picked it up from a hurricane fan who knew sinorice, and bought it from him originally.

At the time, i believe sinorice was a freshman so i dont think he got much playing time during this game, there are however a couple of red paint transfers and grey markings (ohio state colors). championship jersey nonetheless.

Here are pictures of the #71 Miami gamer worn in the Div I championship game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Miami Hurricanes. This game was played January 3, 2003 - the BCS National Championship Game - was a double overtime with the Buckeyes winning 31 to 24. The game was played in Tempe, Arizona. Maurice Clarett was the FR running back sensation and scored a TD in the 2nd OT to win it.

The helmet has all the correct decals and the memorial "CC" decal in honor of the LB Chris Campbell who died in an automobile accident earlier in the year.

Enjoy! Absolutely one of my "top 10" in the collection.

2011 University of Louisville Cardinals game worn helmet. Bought directly from the school. Don't know who wore it or when, but I do know it was worn before the November game against Pitt. The 'Ville did an odd thing and switched decal placements on the back of the helmets mid season, and these match from the earlier part of the season.

Two fine pick-ups guys. Being a helmet guy primarily - really nice 2011 Louisville lid 'shipp_96' and the Julio Jones jersey..."WOW" - really nice!

'bama0037,' now all you need is his helmet and that would be one sweet display on your mannequin like the example I shared earlier in this thread with my 2011 NC State black jersey and 1999 helmet. I am still seeking a 2011 red game helmet they wore in that game when they brought back the red base color to have the complete package.

Thanks 'shipp_96" and 'bama0037' for sharing these additions to your collections.

[masp3392]

Got 2 in the last milehigh auction.

DJ Williams - Issued 2001 Rose Bowl jersey, marked "B" for a backup jersey used. Not to much to say about that but awesome jersey nonetheless. :D

Devin Hester - I'll call this one a game "worn" instead of used. Worn on 11/19/05 vs. Georgia Tech. Nike made revolution jerseys for 3 school's only (miami, vtech, and the gators) and were only worn once. Hester was injured and did not actually play in the game, but the injured players did wear their jersey's on the sidelines. Nonetheless a rare jersey given its style, and worn by the best returner ever in the game! :D

1987 Rickey Dixon Helmet - Consensus All-American & Jim Thorpe Award Winner. Big thanks to Scott Welkowsky and Bob Case for making this deal happen. The helmet was missing the original OU decals. I was able to get in contact with a former staff member from the University of Oklahoma during the mid 80's, he happened to have a sheet of decals from the '87 season. I elected to only place the decal on the side with Dixon's signature, I left the other side alone.

[Shipp_96]

Not game used, but a cool piece nonetheless and wanted to revive this thread! NAVY Midshipmen 2012 schedule poster signed by Head Coach Ken Niumatalolo. This will look beautiful framed next to my 2010 schedule poster I got signed and personalized by Heisman Candidate QB Ricky Dobbs!

Picked up two Tennessee Vols game jerseys, both made by DeLong. #16 (pictured) and #10 - both are same style.

Anyone happen to know what era the Vols used DeLong as a uniform provider? I know they've used Adidas (current) and Sports Belle, but forget when they used DeLong.

Anyone happen to know what era the Vols used DeLong as a uniform provider? I know they've used Adidas (current) and Sports Belle, but forget when they used DeLong.

They went straight from Sports Belle in 1996 to adidas in 1997 - and they've been adidas ever since. Growing up in SEC country I don't remember this ever being an on-field style of jersey so I did a quick photo search going back to about 1970; I have no idea who supplied them in the 60s and 70s but it looks like Sports Belle might have started supplying them some time in the 1980s (on the rare shots that include the hem tagging it looks like a Sports Belle logo).

I don't remember them ever wearing that style of jersey and couldn't find any evidence that this style was ever used; I'm thinking those were some kind retail fashion jersey.

[Shipp_96]

UGA Pro Combat CB Jordan Love game worn helmet from Chick-Fil-A opener last year vs. Boise State. Was actually able to photo match this, though my own helmet pictures are not great as I needed to take them with the phone, you can see the nick in the upper left stripe, the white mark and the red scratch under the G. I was initially upset that I overpaid for this, but am quite happy now. Has his #10 written in Sharpie inside, a dog bone and the Chick-Fil-A decal on back. They removed the #10 from the back for whatever reason, but the sticker residue of the numbers is still back there. Shows nice use and one of the nicer rare helmets in my collection!

Game-used football from a win at Kentucky in 2011.

Game-used football from an estate sale in San Francisco. 2 other balls were dated 1937 and 1938. This is probably from the same timeframe.

Just picked up this 1969 Washington State "gamer" with original 100th Anniversary logo on the helmet. A very rare item because after the 1969 season, the NCAA teams went back to their usual helmet logos. Very few have survived that still retain the 100th Anniversary logo.

The mask was replaced with an original (not a repro) dungard mask by the Helmet Hut

Not typically a game worn jersey guy, in fact the first one I have purchased in over a year. Air Force game worn jersey won from an Academy auction. Very happy to add this to my collection!

[Shipp_96]

Been so busy selling and "re-prioritizing" my collection I hadn't gotten any new helmets in awhile. This came today and am very pleased with it. ECU Pirates Game worn helmet signed and personalized by their Defensive coordinator. Per the auction, the winner/s could ask how they wanted it signed, so I asked for "Game worn helmet, Go Pirates!!" and his auto. I thought it was pretty cool of the school to offer that.

[tom1315]

Shipp_96, love that new addition! I really like the Pirates new side decals and the signature / inscription from defensive coordinator Brain Mitchell and CB's coach is really nice. Coach Mitchell followed ECU head Coach Ruffin McNeill from Texas Tech where they were together four years prior to Ruffin getting the ECU job.

Interestingly enough my buddies enjoy my collection and really seem to enjoy the signed lids many times more than the unsigned ones. I have a VA TECH gamer signed by all of the coaches and that is a favorite along with a 2008 UNC Tar Heels signed by former coach Butch Davis and 8 of his players.

Some recent acquisitions from the NAVY Academy. Game worn #44 2009 50th Anniversary throwback jersey worn by Austin Hill. I was at that typhoon of a game vs. Western KY so it has special meaning to me personally. Auction also came with 50th Anniversary metal engraved plate.

Second jersey is #2 Kriss Proctor (backup QB then) from their 2009 Texas Bowl win over Missouri. Awesome use! Auction also came with Texas Bowl Fossil team only issued watch and pin with case. The last item is a framed field turf from the Academy.

[Shipp_96]

And not to steal the thunder from my NAVY items, but also won this today and VERY excited about it! 2012 OREGON Spring game worn helmet, Carbon Fiber version (the same style they wore in the BCS Championship game). Looks to be a clear shell! Can't wait to get this one, comes from the University with a COA. The photo is for reference, I have no idea which player wore it yet.

Very Cool Oregon helmet but are you sure it is a clear shell? I though maybe it is just a thick layer of clear coat over the top of the 'carbon fiber' finish. LMK, when you get it if it has the paint applied from the inside or if it is impregnated (colored) plastic.

Just picked up a Duke 2011 season home jersey worn by center Brian Moore. He started at right guard for 24 straight games 2009 - 2010 before moving to center in the Spring of 2011 - his JR season. Has started all five games at center during 2012 for the Blue Devils in his SR season.

This is his JR season jersey. Shows nice use with paint transfers and one repair. Really sharp gamer that displays well. Enjoy!

Hey Yosef777, when I get it I will be able to tell you more. I have never seen anything but a clear shell look like this, which is why i described it that way. You may be right about your theory.

@gaytorhater703 and tom1315,

Thank you both for the compliments! Tom, that is a sweet DUKE jersey. Real nice compliment to your DUKE worn helmet.

Picked up a NAVY helmet last used the 2003 season it appears. As many of you know I am primarily an ACC/SEC helmet guy yet occasionally pick up unique lids...like the 2011 NAVY game used helmet from the Academy in their last Army/NAVY game in December 2011. Just too cool to pass up having that one. This recent addition is their standard issue yet is timeless and compliments my other NAVY gamer. Facemask marked "FJC" for June 2003 and has three recertification stickers showing...last date 2003. Nice game usage evident and love the decals on the rear!

A huge "THANK YOU" to forum member "shipp_96" for his input and guidance re NAVY gamers!! Enjoy!

Tom, I appreciate the thank you...glad I was able to help. It looks real sharp with the Pro Combat! Like I mentioned to you, I held that one in my hands and sadly put it back in the bin during the Academy sale because I found the only two there with padding in them. But a sweet lid nonetheless! Congrats!!

I have a question, I hope you guys can help. I am looking into picking up a few GU Michigan jerseys, do these look correct (nothing against the seller, just as newbie, I am just trying to make sure I do things right).

Just scored a nice Syracuse helmet from 1965-1966. It's a Riddell TK5 and with the exception of the numbers being removed from the sides of the helmet, it appears to be original. Pretty sure not too many of these babies have survived the ages.

Here is a Weber State Riddell HA-9 Micro Fit helmet. I believe it is from 1969, the first year Riddell made the Micro Fit.

A few from my alma mater, the University of Michigan.
- Two game worn from the Nike era, circa 2007.
- Two 2009 practice worn Adidas, David Molk #50 and Obi Ezeh #45.

[Shipp_96]

Just won this one today, Oregon Stormtrooper white alternate helmet from their 2009 season. Wore by #91 Dane Ebanez, who is still currently on the roster but at the time was on the scout team as a redshirt freshman. They wore this style of helmet in the Rose Bowl loss to Ohio State that year. Shows nice use but can't really call it game worn since it was only worn in scrimmages. Won from the University.

[Shipp_96]

Correction, I miss read the auction and went over it after posting. The Oregon white helmet is from the 2011 season and WAS game worn! Same player, but they threw me off with their intro story of how this style was introduced in 2009. However it was from 2011 and the PAC-12 (as opposed to PAC-10) sticker should have told me that without reading the entire auction description over.

[masp3392]

Picked up some great stuff for my miami hurricanes collection.

Willis McGahee, Ed Reed, and my favorites Frank Gore game used cleats.

The Willis McGahee's are style matched to the 2002 season so far, the Ed Reed's are style matched to the 2001 season, and the Frank Gore ones are inscribed "vs. FSU 04" in which he scored the game winning TD in overtime.

So being it's Thanksgiving figured I'd not only share my newest acquisition, but this story. I found a game worn signed Jeff Gaddy 2001 NAVY helmet I missed out on from an American Memorabilia auction awhile ago. After seeing it for sale yesterday, I contacted the seller on ebay and asked if he'd change it to a Buy it now and do a slightly lower price. Long story short it turns out I sold the same guy a NAVY worn helmet from my collection years ago. He remembered me and that I gave his a discount when he asked me to, so "he returned the kindness I shared with him". Proving no good deed truly goes unrewarded! So without further ado below is the latest addition to the NAVY collection. A special thanks to Tom1315 for helping me match the back decals to the 2001 Army Navy game!

[Shipp_96]

Resisted as long as I could, but with an hour left and this still available I went for it! Bought from the University's Cyber Monday game used equipment sale. Oregon Ducks game worn 2009 UO throwback helmet with visor, worn vs. Cal.

2010 Emmanuel Acho Game Used Helmet

I had trouble matching it at first, but that Armed Forces patch was only used in 2010 after veterans day. Acho was the only player wearing that number that played that year. And the style/visor matches Acho perfectly. TON of use on the helmet...pics dont do it justice.

Then I went and confirmed it with the man himself. Acho is currently with the Browns...hopefully I can get him to sign it soon.

I was able to get my hands on a 2012 BCS National Championship Game-Used Pylon. There were only 12 of these made and used only for this game, 6 per end zone.
The Pylons are made by Gilman Gear, the company that makes them for the Super Bowl.
I have a ton of great photos from the game showing the pylons.
I'm not sure what position or which end zone it was in; but I'm really happy with this item.

I got it from a guy who works for the Superdome.
He is an LSU fan, so he doesn't mind letting this go.
He has 1 more that he plans to list on eBay.

P.M. me and I'll get you his email address if you'd like to make him an offer.

I contacted Neil Gilman of Gilman Gear, the company that makes these logo pylons for the Super Bowl & the BCS Championship game. I asked him if the general public was allowed to purchase the BCS logo pylons, and he told me no. Those pylons are made specifically for the BCS, and only for the BCS. I'm now 100% sure these are the real deal. Only 1 set of 12 were made for the BCS Championship Game.

Just added this 2011 Gary Gray jersey to the helmet. Jersey shows a few hit marks and a repair.

This helmet does not have the Bowl decal on the back. But im going to ask you guys to chime in. Does this look like a match to the bowl game? To me it does. Wondering why no decal?

[tom1315]

snick33, looks spot on to me. Odd the bowl decal is not on the rear of the helmet yet I have a 2004 Cotton Bowl helmet worn by Corey Larkins from the University of Tennessee and the cross decal worn for that game was removed. The glue residue remains in place but the decal was removed.

I see three scars from the picture that match on your helmet. Maybe consider shooting an email to the equipment manager and ask why the bowl decal is missing? You can find his email I suspect on the Notre Dame listing of coaches and other key personnel. Let us know what you learn.

Nice match snick33!

To answer your question, there is no good answer. Equipment Managers are weird squirrelly people. I have won helmets I have exact photo matches to, and the Manager has removed the players back #, special decals, etc. Each school is different, some even leave all the decals. But it's sadly a common practice to remove certain #s or decals.

I even won a helmet that SHOWED pictures of the player's # and a memorial decal on the back, but by the time it was shipped they were taken off? I contacted the Marketing Director and told him they falsely advertised the product, yet they would not send me replacement decals for the ones they removed. Hope this helps to shed some light from my personal experiences with game worn helmets.

If a player participates in a post season senior all star type game, they may have to remove bowl stickers.

Congrats on the match.

Thanks guys im going to look into a few of these things. Either way im just thrilled to have a new style helmet and the jersey to match. Plus my first photo match.

Hi! I posted this in the December Pick-Ups thread, but wanted to ask the question again.

I just got a Game Ball from the University of MICHIGAN! (Go Blue!) Very excited. On one panel the number "21" is written twice in Silver Sharpie. Anyone know what that could mean? Is it just ball number 21 out of 25 or something? Or is this a touchdown ball from Junior Hemingway, in the 2008 season (the Wilson code letters match it to Feb of 2008 for when it was made. So, perhaps used in the '08 season or after.)

Hey snick33,

I wanted to update a previous story of mine and give you some hope! I literally badgered the University of Oregon for a month about missing decals from a helmet I won that were shown in the auction, but removed before it shipped. Well, good news! Today via FedEx I was sent a brand new sheet of # decals for my helmet, to replace the ones they removed from the AD.

Just letting you know if you are persistent ND may come thru for you.

Shipp I contacted Notre Dame about the Bowl Decal. Talked directly to the Equipment Manager. He told me i would have to take that up with Stiener. Wasn't much help. Stiener said that's how they got it. How bad do you think that effects the value? Even tho I can photo match it.

Hey snick,

Sorry to hear that. That's kind of bogus the ND Equipment Manager passed the buck to Steiner...pretty lame honestly. I'd say if you look on ebay you might find someone that sells Bowl game decals that are pretty close to the real deal if you really want to have it on there for your own piece of mind. However, that would be something to consider. Personally, I do not add or take anything off of my game worn helmets unless it was supplied by the school (like the # decals I just received), since they are legitimate. So again, it's your call.

Now as for value, IMO the Bowl logo does adds value since it is a significant game. However, with the decal removed I think you still can get decent value if you state exactly what you documented on here. You photo matched it, you called the Equipment Manager at ND who was a tool, and Steiner were no help. To me that shows evidence of it use and the lack of cooperation by the parties involved in helping you replace the decal. It's really a shame ND were of so little help, but not much more you can do.

If you are hanging on to it for your personal collection I would just leave it as is knowing it's from the Bowl game. That's my two cents anyways.

[snick33]

SHIPP Thats my plan to leave it as is. My last thing to try is ask the Player if he has any knowledge. I actually spoke to him 2 nights ago. I dont plan on selling it I was just trying to judge value.

Thanks for all the help

Wanted to make a correction to this. The helmet came today, one day after the auction ended. I have NEVER got anything from east to west coast so quick in my life from an auction! Also, the helmet is USED and not issued as advertised. It shows moderate use but usage nonetheless. Possibly a lower string players helmet. Very happy with it!

The recertification stick under a cheek pad is showing 1996, the four facemask clips are dated 2/96 and the Schutt facemask shows a "FIC" for June 1993. Nice battle scars up top. Shows some yellowing and may be due to lighting or other factors due to where it was kept by the prior owner.

[Gridiron Heroes]

I've been so busy after my move and teaching I've had zero time to post in quite a while. My partners and I have been busy buying a lot of Gopher related items, most of which are now up on our website for those who follow our growing Minnesota Gophers collection.

Here's the biggest pain in the rear collectible I've ever puchased; Gophers football locker used in their practice facility. This one was last used by QB/WR MarQueis Gray. We also picked up two more of current starters. It took three hours and three trips in two trucks to pick up the lockers and foot lockers (not pictured). Each locker weighed 250 lbs.

We're working on putting together Matt's sports room so when we're done with that, I'll get pictures up. You will not be dissapointed!

Shawn aka "Gridiron Heroes"...very cool acquisition to your Gopher collection. The football locker makes a very impressive display piece for the jerseys and helmets. Are the two helmets up top and the jerseys MarQueis Gray's actual gear? If so that is really cool to have all paired together.

Just picked up this HAMMERED 1980 game worn Vols jersey of Willie Gault - worn vs. Vanderbilt in 1980 - would love to get a video of this game or a color photo of this photomatch.

Any ideas of where I could find Alabama Crimson Tide game used football items? I'm looking for a jersey or football. I've searched on eBay, but no luck. The only game used item I have of Alabama is a chin strap. Really want a football.

Steiner had a contract with them (at least at one point) I'd suggest contacting them. I know they ahd jerseys, perhaps they have some footballs as well.

Great pre-Beras Gault gamer, Preston! Did the jersey have the NOB removed, or did the Vols not wear NOBs that year?

These are recent donations to my Alameda Sports Collection. The Moyer jersey is game issued and the equipment manager kindly through in his locker nameplate which I love because it has our hometown listed on it.

I had a splendid experience at Ben Roethlisberger's Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Dinner this evening. Ben was inducted alongside his posthumous coach, Terry Hoeppner. Ben's emotions and words were a great tribute to Coach Hoeppner.

I had brought a ball for which I frankly am still working toward a decent historical knowledge. I went up to Ben shortly before dinner and told him I had something I thought he might like to see. He smiled immediately as he saw the Redhawks logo on the ball's finish and then he began examining the ball pretty closely. I am still uncertain whether the was actually used in practice and/or games... and whether it was definitively ever touched by Ben in 2003, but I loved the ball 10 times more the moment Ben remarked about the ball to the effect "this ball has a lot of history." Another former player at the event informed that the ball was a new model/style in '03.

I enjoyed a normal human conversation with "Big Ben" and he seemed to find my challenge of being a proud Miami alum simultaneous with being a Bengals fan pretty humorous. After talking, when I informed him that I'd be honored if he choose to sign the ball a big guy I believe to have been his bodyguard was suddenly present. But Ben very graciously reached for my pen and took his time to choose a place to autograph the ball. When Ben handed it back to me, he asked that I not tell others in the room he'd signed (so that the "flood gates" wouldn't be opened). After thanking him, I felt like a little kid and discretely walked the ball around the perimeter of the room (rather than taking a direct route back to my table).

Later, listening to the speeches from Ben (which truely honored Terry Hoeppner) and Terry's wife really fully made me appreciate my good fortune for observing a special night in the history at Miami University. It also helped me to appreciate Ben on a level different from what I've seen during his player career. Ben showcased humor as a nice compliment to heartfelt emotions, even joking about a fictitious "Brian" who had been accidentally introduced (instead of Ben).

Ben, if you ever happen to read this: thank you for helping me to cherish your contribution to Miami University Athletics. If anybody ever happens to have a game used jersey, helmet, etc of Ben's available for me to purchase, please contact me: plettner at fuse.net. If anybody is so kind to sell me something, I'd be more than happy to keep the possession confidential.

"dplettn," what a great story and class move by Ben. Indeed a special evening and now even more special so with a signed game used ball from the bowl!

Thank you for sharing.

You are right about Ben's class move... and frankly that is what is important. To be clear though, I am still learning about the ball. I do not have absolute knowledge whether it was used in any game (much less the GMAC bowl). The painting on its panel honors the season in its entirely. I don't have any specific provenance on the ball. It is my understanding that its the same model that was used in '03, but markings on the white that may have been applied by refs (for games) and/or coaches (for practice) appear to have been mudded over -- and I don't even know when.

One of Ben's former teammates further informed me last evening that the ball had been a new style/model in '03. Regardless of the ball's specific use (which I can only speculate about), I have a strong appreciation for it. Especially now.

I just came across this jersey and my father, who attended Clemson in the 70's and has had season tickets since 75, saw it and immediately recognized it. It is a Raymond Priester Centennial jersey. For those not familiar with Clemson he set and still holds Clemson's Rushing yards record for Career, Season, and Game. The year this jersey is from (1996) is the season he set the season record, not to mention it is from the Centennial year. I saw it for sale and jumped on it as the guy selling it obviously did not know what he had and seemed like no one else knew either. I can not find any game pictures from him, and I would love to photo match it. If anyone has any info please message me. Thanks!

His statistics:

Career Season Game
RUSHING
Raymond Priester
3.966 (1994-97)
Raymond Priester
1,345 (1996)
Raymond Priester
263 (Duke 1995)

"Clemson2004" - what an incredible jersey and from a career player to boot for Clemson! Just an incredible pick-up. I am a huge NC State Wolfpack fan...I would recommend go through your booster club IPTAY and or search for game programs from the 1996/1997 season and you will find pictures.

If he played in 1997 the preliminary book published for that season will have pictures typically from the prior one...check Getty Images and AP photos too.

Good luck in matching!

[Clemson2004]

Thanks. Yeah he played from 1994-1997. I will look for that. I already checked Getty Images, and they only have 3 images, one of them in the throwback jersey, and the other two are the white jerseys. Yeah our whole family is a part of IPTAY so I will give them a call tomorrow. Thanks for the info, I do not know why I did not think of that. I did track him down on Facebook, but if you are not friends with someone you have to pay $1 for it to end up in their inbox..

As an avid Irish and Cincinnati Bengals fan this was a great find for my collection...2011 Notre Dame "Under the Lights" vs. Michigan GU jersey of current Bengals OG / C Trevor Robinson. Is absolutely hammered with use!

I have had this for a while but just getting around to posting. Devin Gardner game worn throwback against the Michigan State Spartans in 2011. He played a significant amount of time due to injury to Denard Robinson. Purchased directly from the University. There were two #7s on the team, but I believe this to be Devin's due to use and it is larger than the other jersey and Devin is much bigger than the other #7 on the team.

That is a really cool sweater! Does yours have the white stripe on the left sleeve like the one in the Switzer Center (couldn't really tell from the photos). If not, do you know if that distinguishes it as being from any specific years?

Again, very nice!

Hey Chris! I appreciate the kind words. This sweater does not have the stripe indicating how many years a player lettered in the sport. Example; 2 stripes - the player lettered 2 years.

Well I finally found the smoking gun picture to Photomatch my 1981 Game Used Herschel Walker jersey. Spent alot of tireless hours searching for a picture that I COULD POSITIVLY SAY IT WAS A MATCH. I had always felt it was from the 1981 UGA vs USC. I have a feeling this jersey was used atleast in 2 games during the 1981 season. I was able to match the Hole patterns on the Right and Left Sleeves on the #34. Note on the first 2 pictures of the #34 on the sleeves. There are a few holes that aren't punched out on the #4. Their are several team repairs but the on that stood out to me is the repair directly above Front #3. In the game picture it shows it torn. also their is a maroon rub on the sleeve which appears to be from a USC facemask. Feedback please. I have spoken with UGA-1 and he agrees. GO DAWGS!!
