Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
Looks like you're being sucked into the Bears GU!
When you're ready to get that Hester, let me know. I have been offered a road jersey for $800. I'm not sure if it's still there but will inquire once you're ready...

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
About a year ago I posted a sweet Calvin Thomas jersey I picked up and was pretty sure it was a 1985 jersey.
After some photomatching, I have it matched to the entire 1985, 1986 and 1987 seasons.
Here's a quick collage including pictures from all 3 seasons:

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
Here is a Gayle Sayers nameplate I acquired about 12 years ago. It is made of a blue dureen material and has the proper font on the S and R (footed). It has stitch holes around the border and is in great shape. I believe it may be authentic. I got it in a large collection of game used stuff and always wondered if it was authentic from a Sayers uniform. I believe it could have only be from 1970 because I thought the Bears stitched the letters directly on the back of the uniform with out a plate in 1971. You guys are very knowledgeable and I hope you can help me out and tell me if it's real and maybe a ballpark value.

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
zrickkid,
1970 is the first year NFL mandated the use of the last name after the AFL/NFL merger.
I personally don't like the font on the "R" It is not consistent with the few examples from the early 70's that I've seen. Attached is the only early 70's home jersey that I have seen (With letter "R" in the name) made out of durene and sporting a stitched letters on a name plate.

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
I was poking around and found this pic. I'm thinking that nameplate might be legit.

Jim Seymour (84) played for the Bears from 1970 to 1972 and Jack Concannon (11) played from 1967 to 1971 so the name plate must have been a short lived style that was possibly only worn during 1971 through 1972 seasons. In 1973 the jersey material changed to the mesh body...
Interestingly, the Ross Brupbacher played with the Bears from 1970 through 1973 so there must have been 2 variations of the letter "R" in use during the same time period...
Live and learn.
