Gobbi Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Based on my ebay experiences with mini helmets, I wouldn't be surprised if that Ravens one was a custom that someone was trying to pass off as legit. I can't tell that by the photos so it could very well be real though. It would be interesting to see the bottom of the box as the team/year/description is usually embossed onto the box or written on the barcode portion. The fact that it's not pictured adds to my suspicion. I had a saved search for the Eagles 1933 throwback yellow and blue mini helmet for quite some time and the majority that came up were customs. I could tell because on the legit Riddell one, there were two overlapping blue decals... one for the "wing" portion and one for the stripe that extends to the back of the helmet. All the customs just had it as one decal. I recognize that this likely has nothing to do with the Ravens one but I know there are a lot of customs being passed off as legit on there.

Whoever made the list on the box must have goofed. Probably...several months ago, I came across some Packers caps at Burlington. Not unusual, except that these had the AFC logo on one of the side panels. Obvious manufacturer goof.

VikWings Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 On 4/22/2022 at 12:01 AM, DustDevil61 said: I’m not sure where to post this, but I think this is the best place to mention this, but apparently there was a Baltimore Ravens “Throwback” quickly-pulled-from-production mini helmet that had the 1996-98 front-facing swooping bird on it (the same one that adorned the sleeves in that same timeframe) on eBay. (Sorry, as well—I got outbid on it. Lousy timing, ending during my work shift.) This brings up a few intriguing questions: Did the Ravens ever plan on using this logo? Was it after the logo lawsuit, or was it supposed to be the primary logo? Is this the closest the Ravens could legally get to the winged B-Shield, or was this a fabrication from someone wanting to trick someone into buying it? Here are the screenshots for reference: Similarly, there was a 1993-94 Jacksonville Jaguars Leaping Jaguar mini helmet that was on Ebay. While most people here know about the original unused Jaguars helmet and logo, what’s interesting is that on the bottom of the box where all 30 teams (as of 1995), the Jaguars were in the NFC “West” while the Panthers were in the AFC Central. Was this the original plan for the 1995 expansion? Here's the screenshot of the division from the Jaguars helmet listing: Apologies if the images don't show up or if there's some kind of policy where I shouldn't post these, but this is in case the links don't work and are just to make sure that these images remain after the (already ended) eBay listings are taken down. I have a Jaguars helmet with the unused logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 That is a downgrade from the standard jerseys (and they improved when they added black), so good thing they didn’t use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I don't know if this was posted or not, but I found it just by coincidence. It's labeled as a prototype from 97/98 season. It look legit so they probably considered to introduce a white uniform much earlier than 2002. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the league had been pushing the Lakers to introduce a 3rd jersey for a couple of years by that point. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealPepman Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Can anybody confirm if this jersey prototype is legit? Please excuse the cresting but the imagine that's Linden instead. Matter of fact, the seller sells a million jerseys that make you wonder "what if he/she wore that jersey?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Given the same seller has this on sale... ...probably just a fashion jersey. CCM seems to have done that a lot. Cool design though, I gotta say. On a related note, there sure are a LOT of Coyotes Gretzky jerseys floating around considering he never played for them. 1 1 Quote A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

officeglenn Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I guess this counts: Here are two Cameroon World Cup 2022 jerseys that Le Coq Sportif produced and is selling on their website, but the team won't wear in the tournament because the national federation unilaterally ended the contract over the summer and signed with One All Sports. Here's a writeup on the situation I did for the mothership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
