Remember.

They're mainly forgotten now.

(Football was so brutal that in 1905, 18 players lost their lives.)

Baseball remembers its heroes better. Hollywood, seemingly in cahoots, even does remakes for them.

So it's really up to a few old photographs and some books nobody reads anymore.

And of course, these terrific vintage football jerseys.

Any contact with them, and heroes will be instantly recalled. (A secret process.)

William Walter “Pudge” Heffelfinger. Walter “Eckie” Eckersall. Jim Thorpe. Gus Dorais. Red Grange. Bob Zuppke. (“I don't look for tackles, I listen for them.”) Many more.

Fragments soon to become clear to you.

But these ribbed crossover crew necks would be memorable under any circumstances. The quilted shoulder pads with horizontal line stitching. Long sleeves styled with 5 pieced panels in alternate body stripe accent colors. More patches on the elbow. Great under blazers. Women, not that they have to be told, like them also.

Men's sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL.

Colors: Black with Gold stripes, Maroon with Navy stripes.

Vintage Football Jersey (No. 1131).
