I think I found a unique item that was a fun puzzle to pull together. Since JO Sports has been selling footballs, I've been trying to photo match a Bronco game balls for almost a year now.
Here is a pick of the ball I bought, notice the black marking on the last thread, this is a key to matching the ball from a getty image pic. I think I could also match the width between the threads.
The Getty pic was taken during the last drive and #97 of the Jets ran Tebow out of bounds with 3:50 to go in the game. So at least I know this ball was used during the last drive.
The big problem I had with the football was the white residue or powder, How did it get on the ball? I remembered that Tebow ran the ball, but I didn't remember what he did with the ball. After watching the a replay of the TD run, he dropped the ball in the end zone right on the Bronco logo which is all white chalk.
If anyone can help with hany higher rez pics from the NFL rewind or getty images, please let me know.
Regardless of Tim's future, for this Bronco fan it's one cool ball.
