Show me your Denver Broncos game used stuff

I believe this to be a 1973 Tom Graham that was recycled for a preseason player Wallen later on. Looking at photos I think that '73 was the only year with the down slant in the 5. Multiple repairs with one under the nameplate that was changed.

Tom - That Burns' helmet jersey combo is sweet!! I want it....BAD!!
Love the Super Bowl back bumper decal. Brings a tear to my eye.

Mile High - I love the 70's screen printed jerseys. A forum member just hooked me up with an Odoms' 78er!

That's cool that you give the kickers some love, hockeytigers. Love the legacy uni and Elam jerseys are awesome! What year is the home one, if you don't mind me asking?

Pat - You and Tom are truly the GODS of Broncos' game used stuff. This is Canton quality stuff and i'm just in complete awe of your guys collection. Please keep sharing!

Also, is that a real 1960 sock?? HOLY CRAP!!

Thanks for the kudos! With my interest in the "Orange Crush" era & ROF/HOF players and Tom's interest in the AFL-era stuff, our combined collections do make for a pretty comprehensive historical display. My hope is to one day be able to put some of this stuff on permanent display at either the Broncos' headquarters or stadium. But that's a project that's down the road aways.

Yup... real 1960-'61 era sock. Long story as to how I came about this, but am 100% sure of its' authenticity based on our research and interviews with the parties involved. At this point, I know of only 3 of them: Ours, one at the HOF and one at the Broncos HQ (though I've heard rumors of a couple being tucked back in a drawer of one or two of the 1960s alums, I cannot confirm this). Here's a slightly better view...

Patrick - Wow!…Just wow!

I was under the impression that none had survived the bonfire, except, of course, the one in the HOF. I always thought that there was always the possibility that some players would have kept them, but then again, who in their right mind would have thought that they would be so historical and thought that far ahead? I actually asked Goose Gonsoulin if he kept his socks. He told me “Unfortunately, no.” Maybe he really does have a pair tucked away somewhere ; )

Anyway, is there going to be any other upcoming displays or shows soon. Sounds stupid, but I would LOVE to get my picture next to this holy grail of Broncos’ memorabilia. Good luck in your efforts to have a permanent display. You have my support, for sure!!

Nice collections. Went to the Raider bronco Monday night game 2yrs ago in Denver. I wore my Raider jersey all weekend and only received a few digs. I had a light hearted feud with the people sitting next to us. She reminded me that they beat us in the AFC championship in 77 and I reminded her that Rob lytle fumbled on the 1 to get the home town call. We both laughed and shared a few beers. Denver was a really cool town filled with really nice people. Your commitment to excellence in collecting is duly noted.
