Re: Miami Dolphins Stuff
Thanx Dave.
The tags on my jersey had me a little miffed. I've attached a tag from a Milt Plum Rams jersey. The Sand-Knit tag is dated mid to late 1960's by the gold ribbon and gold size designation. Milt played for the Rams in 1968.
My jersey has "American Football Conference" while the Plum jersey has "National Football Conference". The two leagues merged in 1970 and they became the National Football League - American Football Conference and National Football Conference with Pete Rozelle the commissioner of both leagues. I've seen AFL footballs with Pete Rozelle on them - in 1969 the Chiefs in Super Bowl IV used AFL footballs with Rozelle on the football.
I guess the two leagues finalized the merger in 1970 but manufacturers started making changes to how they labeled equipment earlier?
