Going through an old bin of jerseys at Mom’s would you care to see some? Stating with, Dad’s game worn Islanders jersey, has to be from the 70s, can’t get over the weight of it. The letters/numbers themselves gotta weigh five pounds:
This is a kids sweater, mom had them made up for bro and I second Dad got dealt to LA (so, this is from ‘86):
Dad’s Saskatoon Blades sweater. Dad is 66, so this has to be coming up on 50 years old. Prob my fave sweater I came across today. The material, I mean, it’s glorious. Not to play hockey in mind you, but still.
Dad was drafted by the Astros and played Double A ball in their system in Covington, Virginia. I don’t know if this is legit from then, but it looks like it could be? If so would be 50 years old-ish too.
Could oddities: teams Dad coached, we’d go visit as boys. Utah Grizzlies and LAS Vegas Thunder
