Hey Guys!
As a Bills collector, I'm always looking for unique stuff.
This Goodman and Sons OJ jersey perplexes me because of how identical it is to the Sand Knit. Dave was nice enough to offer his thoughts, but suggested a post to see if anyone else had a theory.
Originally, I thought maybe it was how Ripon would manufacturer NFL jerseys for other suppliers.
Maybe G&S manufactured Sand Knits for a period? That isnt right, but that was my general line of thinking... but Dave thought this was early 80s.... by which time OJ was long gone. So he thought maybe it was a prop?
Obviously, its not a gamer... I just find it so weird that (assuming the darker blue is due to lighting) this is SO spot on to the sand knits. Its like a M&N throwback before that became their bread and butter. Even the font is similar if not correct. Any who, I thought if anyone had any ideas, this would be the place. If its just a period authentic reproduction thats really cool... just had no idea they did this back then.
