First post on the forums, looking forward to posting some more in the future

Anyways, I am seeking opinions from people knowledgeable about Chargers memorabilia

I recently purchased this jacket from a Craigslist ad here in San Diego and am seeking some information regarding this piece.

It appears to have been used quite a bit with a few stains and repairs, but I have no way of knowing whether it was game worn or not.

I suppose what I want to know is that can it be considered a definite “team/game issued” piece? Or does anyone know if these jackets were available for retail? I have never seen one for sale on sites like eBay so I am guessing these weren’t available for people to buy (like Starter jackets, for example)

Also, can anyone pinpoint it to a particular era (60’s, 70’s, etc) I have tried looking for photos of players wearing these jackets on the sidelines but haven’t had any luck yet.

Hopefully there’s someone on the forums who has seen one of these before.

Many thanks in advance
