I'll be 39 next month and can remember calling the equipment managers for various NFL teams in HS (I got their names and numbers from the 1989 NFL Record & Fact Book) to see who would be the teams' official on field suppliers, if they would be switching to twill, etc. You really had to work/be dedicated to get info back then. I was so proud when I finally tracked down a '94 Deion 49ers TBTC authentic jersey, still have and wear it.
Just arrived, quality is fantastic. I wasn't really feeling the Scottsdale jersey so I went vintage instead, as soon as fall rolls around...
Awesome story buddy. It really was different back then. Not having blogs and such to help us out. It's awesome that you still wear that jersey all these years later.
I feel like we grew up in such a pivotal time tech/information/media wise. We went from deciphering pager codes (remember that?) to face timing. Like we are just to right age to fully understand how crazy things have gotten and appreciate how easy they are now. The generation after us knows nothing else so they just take it for granted. Not to mention we got to watch athletes like Tyson & Jordan in their primes. Alright, I'm done being old. Sorry, everyone.
I'M NOT TOO FAR BEHIND YA IN AGE...I'M 38,LOL! YEP,TIMES WERE DEFINITELY A LOT DIFFERENT BACK THEN TRACKING DOWN THINGS YOU REALLY WANTED...BUT THAT'S ALSO WHAT MADE IT MORE REWARDING WHEN YOU WERE ABLE TO COP.... HOLLA... CED B.
These are nice as hell. I'd take either color at this point. Just don't want to pay stupid price for them. My dad bought me my first base glove back around that time and that's what these make me think of. Still hoping for resell price to maybe drop.
My pair from livestock just came in. The bag was sealed tight. I'd say it's pretty easy to tell if yours was pre opened or not. It's a tight seal. Anyway, got the brown pair
Been tempted to grab blacks under retail.. price been easing down on both. Saw somewhere some 9s supposed to come out next year.. all black w red trim and a reverse blk/ white.
Had no plans to cop the Black pair moving forward but about 3 weeks ago I put in a bid for $195 and it got accepted today. Definitely take them for that price.
