gobills1212 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) i spent years hunting down my Beebe, Conlan, Norwood, Todd Collins, Mohr, Christie, Hull. Hansen and Ritcher. Pics are on IG at @yellowsub73 Some of these gamers are tough to find - but they are out there!! Sadly for retail Mitchell and Ness just make the hits. Before being purchased by Reebok, they made a nice Joe Cribbs, Throwback Kelly, OJ, and Joe D. Then they came out with the super bowl 25 kelly, thurman, and reed but the fonts were messed up so they cancelled them and redid them 2 years later along with a kelly, Bruce, and thurman blue 1994. They make a kelly, reed, Thurman, and bruce LEGENDS series that are more low end that are the 90s colors but the style and fonts arent like anything the Bills ever used. Sand Knit made retail authentics for #55, #12, #83 until 1988 and then Champion made authentics for Kelly, Reed, Bruce and Thurman until 1996. Once in a while you see authentic odd balls that were ordered from a mail away catalog but MOST from that era come from local stores that had blank champion or red fox that would sew on numbers of whoever you wanted. Not accurate as they were screened, but still there. Puma and Logo Athletic Flutie, Moulds, Johnson, Brown, and Collins had the retail authentic jerseys until they gave way to Reebok Bledsoes, Henreys, Moulds and Evans. Bassically any star a team had, you can find retail authentics. We had so many qbs that you can find authentic retail Holcombs and VanPelts too. My work recently bought a HUGE collection of Bills stuff from a former employee who recently retired. Hundreds of jerseys as well as hundreds of pants, hats, wall pictures from before the remodel, stadium signs, flags, helmets, shoulder pads, cleats, shirts, thousands of gloves, hats, shirts, game balls, presentation balls, even the logo from the old locker room carpet! BUT, back on topic, the jerseys - all gamers from 1990 to 2016 or so and the names are just amazing to remember. I had a blast doing the inventory. Anywho, because the Bills never have a year end garage sale like most teams- we are going to have one! So, there will be an influx of odd ball Bills jerseys out there this year. Now, some gamers fit like a tube - but most people can fit in a Jerry Ostrowski with no issues:) Edited July 19, 2019 by gobills1212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't live in WNY, and wouldn't dream of ever wearing them again. Thurman throwback by Mitchell & Ness & the only one I wear anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember trying to trade for this back in the day! As i mentioned, the Norwoods were tough - the 87 white port hole mesh gamer cost me $500 and luckily the 89 Pro Bowl Norwood gamer was a little cheaper at $300 but im not sure the seller knew what it was. Anywho, i tried finding your info but couldnt bc i wanted to tell you that if you ever want the correct font 'sand knit house' font on that bad boy, or even champion to keep w the 89 theme hit up Bison Logo. Dude can match the material and font to a T. Screen printing is a lot art but he nailed my 86 port hole mesh sand knit kelly rookie tv numbers and plate.

sodbuster Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have a couple of good, stitched "church" jerseys, but I can't resist snatching every obscure screen printed jersey that I find at the thrift shop. They're great to wear to games, because I'm a mess when I cook at the tailgate, and I don't care if I sit in nacho cheese or something in the stadium. I have a closet full, but my favorite one is an navy era Moorman away jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy for you that you finally got your Norwood, and it’s a game used that’s so awesome! The Pro-Bowl jersey is a nice feather in the cap, can’t say I’m not totally jealous! Thanks for the scoop on Bison Logo, I’ll have to check it out. The font on mine did bug me a little, especially the “O”s, but the letters were cut by a really good friend at a local shop, so there’s some sentimental value. Good to reconnect with ya, I really respect your knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol Dirty B Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 You should just get an OJ Jersey if you're thinking of getting a Henry jersey. At least you'd get a reaction.

His later year ones however like his Logo Athletics are HUGE. He changed to tucking them in but in a very baggy style. IMO, changes like that are one of the things that makes collecting old gamers fun. Each one was different where are now with nike, everything is so uniform they all look the same. One of the reasons i miss the old days where teams chose a supplier to outfit them rather than a league wide contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with those I have a stitched ugly early 2000s blue Moulds jersey. Out of the four the Moulds one gets the most coments on game day as it's just a little different than the norm. So here's the deal, thinking about picking up an ugly early 2000s white Bledsoe for a steal. I know, he barely played here but that first season was actually pretty fun. OR and an ugly early blue 2000s Travis Henry for not as much a steal. What should I do? Spare me the get someone better stuff because these obscure jerseys are the ones I'm looking for. Have also considered a TO and would love to hunt down a white Stevie Jersey for a good price. Any interest in a jp losman? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
