i agree

ricko or timmy b. could prolly confirm for sure though

mike stanhope’s page has some compelling visual evidence (although the site also claims they have the orange lid with brown bronco, which ricko swears is actually blue, not brown)…

in addition, there is this…again, just because it’s pictured doesn’t mean it to be true, but i am fairly certain the broncos did have white jerseys as well

perhaps denver gregg would know?

anyone?[/quote]
There’s a color photo of their white uniform at Helmet Hut. Still no proof they wore it in a game, but at least we know they had them.

You are correct, sir. 255 yards vs. Cardinals in the first replacement game. It is the standing team record for yards in a game.

Ruppert would probably be the best story of that group had it not been for HIS replacement. He won his two starts and was replaced (due to injury) in the third at Dallas by Tony Robinson. Robinson was granted permission to leave prison to join the team. Made some plays to beat Tony Dorsett, Danny & Randy White on Oct. 19, 1987, aka “Black Monday”. Was immediately returned to prison when the regulars took over.

Forgive me if everybody knows this because it is in the movie, but I’ve never seen it. Can’t take anymore than five minutes of Keanu Reeves.

Matt, tell Mr. Ruppert that this ‘Skins fan will always be a fan of old #16.[/quote]

Will do!

Sorry to hear the Katrina part though for you.[/quote]

Larry,

Sorry, but I did not get any pictures of the Colorado uniform. However, if you look for any pictures of “Whizzer” White, fmr. Buff RB and later US Supreme Court Justice, he is wearing that same uniform. He I believe was #24, I had #12.[/quote]

Nick, I know the era jersey you mean and have seen pictures of Whizzer White.
Seeing that you got other jerseys like the 33 Pirates makes me think you have or had a nice collection.[/quote]

Larry,

I did not lose many of my jerseys in Katrina, but I did lose about 8-10 of the best of my collection which I kept at home. They simply were washed away by the flood waters.

I never owned a reak friction strip jersey, though I have come close. Most of my collection were kept in a storage facility above the flood, but they are pretty much 1950s – 1970s durene jerseys as well as more modern stuff.

I was actually able to save a few things that were totally flooded but located in the mess, such as a couple of 1994 Steelers Throwbacks with the printed friction strips and chest patches – they survived with miinor staining and are wearable.

Notable losses were the Colorada #12 uni and a Silver wool jersey with Orange and Black numerals and stripes that was sold to me on EBAY as an early MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD jersey. I never did the research on it, but find it hard to believe that Marshall wore those colors.

Some of the stuff that I did save were severely stained by the rusting from metal hangers. Those on plastic hangers were not stained. Additionally, the more modern polyester pieces held on to the STINK from the flood water for a long time – requiring many washings, whereas the cotton and wool items were able to be de-funkified with less washings. I would have thought the opposite to be true.

However, nothing from Katrina ever stunk was bad as the early 2000s Hula Bowl jersey I bought from Collegejersey.com. Apparently they got the jerseys from the players immediately after the Hula Bowl and never washed them. After the jersey moldered unwashed in their collection for 1-2 years, I bought it. The jersey, a rare size 54 with skill sleeves, stunk like 17 prison chain gangs. I literally soaked it in Palmolive soapy water for two days after wadshing it in a machine 10 times, and despite the soapy water turning green from the jersey color after two days, the jersey still stunk with the funk !!! They did exchange it for another, and that was that.

Very cool concept!

Funny though, does this business have a name? Not to suggest anything, but there must be immense licensing issues here. MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, movie studios, etc.[/quote]

and if it does, lets all keep it a secret until we’re done ordering from them, k? ;)[/quote]

Oh, of course. I could care less what they do or how they do it. I just know there are those that do. If they’ve been at it a while, I’m sure it’s fine.

Fictional Falco is really Ed Ruppert, a Phys Ed teacher and QB coach at the HS where I work![/quote]

Not to worry anyone about this store, but why is their contact email “reebokstore@hotmail.com”?

Are they affiliated with Reebok in some way?
