Re: Show Us Your College Game Used Items

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.

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.

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!

Re: Show Us Your College Game Used Items

Here are my Mississippi State game-used items (just a few, but all I've been able to acquire).

Helmet with some wear. Game used? Practice? I don't know. Logo was used between 1995 and 2003.


Goalpost from 2004 win vs #20 Florida. MSU scored the go-ahead TD with 32sec left. Pieces of the net the team cut down after clinching the SEC Title in 2004, and winning the SEC West in 2007. Also some infield dirt from a Super Regional win in 2007.


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.

Re: Show Us Your College Game Used Items

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

Re: Show Us Your College Game Used Items

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!

Re: Show Us Your College Game Used Items

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.

Re: Show Us Your College Game Used Items

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 better photos of the Air Force jersey I won.

Re: Show Us Your College Game Used Items

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.

Re: Show Us Your College Game Used Items

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.

Re: Show Us Your College Game Used Items

Shipp_96,
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.

Re: Show Us Your College Game Used Items

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!
