The Helmets are the Game Used Helmets from the 2008 season of Rolando McClain, Javier Arenas, and Kareem Jackson. The University of Alabama auctions off a lot of the stuff and now Steiner has a deal with Alabama so they get most of the game used jerseys and helmets directly from the University. I like Kirby and thought surely he would bolt back to Ga but we gave him quite a big raise. I still think his heart is in Ga and would not be shocked if he didn't end up the head coach there in a few years once Richt is gone. John
Hello to all,
I personally went through the available black jerseys and "game used" helmets at the unversity a few months ago. Honestly, unless you just want a black jersey, then it is not worth the $150. I looked through about 40 jerseys and NONE showed any game usage. They also had no evidence of a nameplate having been applied and then removed as required by the NCAA. They did remove the SEC patch which is easy to see since they are applied with glue and a single stitch. Besides that, they were basically clean and never saw the equipment room.
I also consider the black "game used" Halloween helmets they have for $300 a waste also. the process UGA uses to sell these is to completely strip the helmet of decals(that were used in the game) and put new decals on. They then apply new decals and leave off the numbers and award decals. Most of the RED gamers they have look old and have been out of service for awhile. There are better replicas on sale at Ebay for half what these cost.
Arron Murray was not a member of the Bulldogs the last time UGA used black jerseys. UGA has not placed an order for black jerseys since Sept. 2008 which were used vs. Bama. Remarcus Brown wore #11 that season. Not possible for AM to be issued a black jersey while in high school.
AJ Greene did play in that 08 Bama game but the black jersey in this post has a 2010 SEC patch. Not possible on a jersey used in 2008. The 2010 SEC patch has a much larger "SEC" lettering as opposed to what was used until 09. Getty images clearly show AJ's jersey with the smaller patch lettering.
Hey Uga-1. You Are Right Remarcus Did Wear #11 That Last Year We Wore The Black Jerseys. The Only Thing Is Remarcus If You Notice Wore The Tight Sleeves In Which Murray Wears The Longer Sleeves. Actually Georgia Did Order Another Set Of Black Jerseys For The 2010 Season. In Which The Murray Jersey Was Obtained. The Jerseys That Were Wore In The 2008 Season Were Stripped Of The Old Patches And The New Larger Sec Patch Was Applied. Once Coach Richt Decided To Scratch The Jerseys For The Tech Game This Year They Were Put On Sale. The Green I Have Does Show More Wear Than The Obvious Murray I Have Shows None. Also The Helmets They Had For Sale In The Bookstore Are Way Overpriced And I Agree They R Not Worth It. The Jerseys On The Other Hand Are Really Nice. I Also Grabbed 2 Pair Of The Black Pants Which Are Pretty Sweat Also.
These are the same jerseys from the Bama blackout game. the only thing thats different is the larger SEC patch. Notice the sleeves on the Remarcus Brown versus the Murray. This jersey was issued to Murray to wear this year I was told. Th Green I can't verify but it appears to have more wear than a crisp out of the locker room jersey. It does show signs of sewing marks left behind from the smaller sec patch of 2008.
Sweet room Bama. I will say UGA-1 when it comes to Georgia stuff is a great source of knowledge. Yeah I think Kirby will ride the Saban train as long as he can. As for him returning to UGA. I can see that being his wife is from Georgia also. it all depends on Richt next year.
Just found out today that Georgia placed a partial order of Black jerseys on August of 2010. Mostly for players that wanted a different style sleeve. Mostly players like Orson Charles, A. Murray, Boykin ETC.
WOW!!! Great set Bama!! I think Bama did great on those rings!! U are one lucky BAma Collector!! I would never ever part with those. If Georgia is ever lucky enough to grab another Nat. Championship....thats first on my list!! Congrats!!
I had a Rennie Curran jersey a few months back. But i traded it and a couple more for a Moreno helmet. also just picked up this Stafford a couple weeks back.
