His blue road Squires was on eBay many years ago. Sweet!

I remember that one. The seller said he bought it at a yard sale "out in the country" in Virginia. Original owner worked for the Squires.

There was a Bulls Iceman on eBay about 2 years ago.

Fernando Valenzuela looks odd in anything but a Dodgers jersey, but this shot seems extra strange...

Re: Obscure jerseys from Amazing Players

Thanks for playing along guys! This thread has been great fun to check in on and by far the most successful thread I have ever started.

I'll add the Dolan Dicked Over:

Patrick Ewing, one of the nba's 50 greatest players, 17th greatest college player as per espn, retired #33 with his Knicks and should have been liftime Knick. Patrick was forced however to leave and he did play for the Sonics and Magic.

Mark Messier, who I hated when he was a Ranger for his heroics in 1994 against my Canucks. I wish more than anything he didn't use my team as retrebution when Dolan didnt even tender him a contract. So:

Vancouver Canucks Mark Messier
Sonics or Magic Patrick Ewing
