Re: Usc Trojans
Hi, I have several game used USC football helmets. My favorite is an older helmet signed by Heisman winners Marcus Allen, OJ Simpson, Mike Garrett, and Charles White. Plus coaches John Robinson and John McKay. Came from Scott Tinsley, QB for the Trojans in early 1980's. He had it in his sports bar, The Draft Choice.

Re: Usc Trojans
Your signed helmet sounds great! I have a couple of jerseys that once hung in The Draft Choice, Tinsley's (#15) and John Kamana's (#26), a WR from Hawaii.

Re: Usc Trojans
If I remember right, Kamana played about the same years as Marcus Allen, correct? Your tagging on your jersey with Goodman and Sons has wash in 120 degree water I believe. I have a Marcus Allen USC jersey with Goodman and Sons tagging size 46 identical in everyway like major auction places are selling as game used. Mine says wash in lukewarm water like theirs does. Just curious because I thought all USC jerseys started the wash in lukewarm in 1982 after Allen left school. I remember the Kamana jersey because I about bought it. Glad to hear you have it.

Re: Usc Trojans
Yes, Kamana played 1980-83 so he overlapped with Allen for two years. I have the jersey put away in storage so can't check the tagging at this time but you are right - from what I understand - Goodman tagging indicates lukewarm water washing instructions post 1982. Prior to then, between 1978-1981, in addition to Goodman, USC football jerseys were also manufactured by Russell Athletic and Rawlings.

Re: Usc Trojans
Do you happen to have any Jim Psaltis items in your USC collection? He's a guy from my hometown who played for the Trojans in the early 50's.

Re: Usc Trojans
I have this jersey. I haven't tried to ID or date it. You're making me wonder if it might be Kamana's from 1980 or 81.
