Re: Notre Dame Jersey Discussion Thread

Changing the subject a bit--my 1991 lime green Notre Dame hoops jersey was graciously featured in Uni Watch by Paul Lukas, a lot of fun to see it on there!

Re: Notre Dame Jersey Discussion Thread

Here's the actual page of the catalog scanned for your review. Certainly, everyone is entitled to their own opinion on the jersey up for auction on MEARS site - I am simply putting in my own opinion based on my years of experience and research on ND jerseys, as well as for the education value regarding ND jerseys in this thread. The good news? It is definitely an authentic game-style jersey, and I would be comfortable with the autograph as well even if it doesn't have an original Killir sports LOA with it.

Great research and a great reference to the Killir Gold Club. They were my introduction into autographed memorabilia. I still have a couple helmets, etc. from them.

Re: Notre Dame Jersey Discussion Thread

I should probably post this in the "most unusual item" thread but here's my lime green jersey from the Syracuse game in 1991 and I was able to get some screenshots of the game from the ND archives for a style match. Worn by football star Oliver Gibson who was also on the basketball squad, went on to play for the Steelers. He suited up for but didn't get in to the actual game though. Notre Dame lost by 1.

Paul Lukas graciously featured it on Uni Watch: http://www.uni-watch.com/2011/12/23/...reen-uniforms/

Also here's an account of the game and the jerseys from Chicago Tribune: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1...n-daimon-sweet

Re: Notre Dame Jersey Discussion Thread

Just received this from the GF auction, another "green" one, also featured on Uni Watch. There's some argument as to whether Digger Phelps really meant for these jerseys to be green or if they just ended up that way in the laundry but either way they played in this color for two seasons in the late 70s. Found a cool photo of Hanzlik wearing the jersey against Magic Johnson and the Michigan State Spartans.

Genius...The ND jerseys you're referring to definitely had an intentional light green tint to them. If you ever want to part with yoiur Bill Hanzlik ND uniform, please look me up. Thanks!
