ProvidenceRI Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Did anybody else notice that his retired old-school Tampa Bay Yucs orange jersey said "Alsott" on the back? And not "Alstott"?They framed two jerseys: 1 old school and 1 red/pewter jersey.I'm trying to find a photo to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 It wasn't a typo, per se. When Alstott first played for the Bucs in the orange jerseys, his name was spelled wrong on the nameplate, and not corrected until a few games later.I think that is one of the actual misspelled jerseys that the team owner had in possession.

BucsBoy02 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 IDK if its just a mistake or whatever but. Bryan Glazer, the Buccaneers executive vice president, presented Alstott with his first Tampa Bay orange game jersey, on which his name was misspelled, Alsott. He wore it at least twice in NFL games in his rookie season in 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 A-Train makes one more stop for fansBy Joey Knight, Times Staff WriterIn print: Monday, October 20, 2008TAMPA ? One of the two framed No. 40 jerseys the Glazer family presented Sunday evening to the most revered wrecking ball in Tampa Bay history was the creamsicle one he wore in his inaugural game.It remains in mint, misspelled condition.The first "T" still is missing from the A-Train's last name."Honestly, I didn't realize it until after I put it on and I was playing," Mike Alstott recalled moments after Sunday's halftime tribute, where his status as arguably the most beloved player in franchise history seemed reaffirmed. "Being the young rookie, you're thinking about other things." "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."

mantleisthebest7 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Wow, thats really funny, i never knew that they had mispelled it. I've always loved Alstott, as a 16-year old now, i basically grew up watching him pound people to the ground and bulldoze people with ease. He was exciting to watch, and someone who i think is a lock for the hall of fame. Thanks for the good times, #40. Jimmy Eat World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Interesting that the Creamsicle jersey also has the period-appropriate Wilson "Golden W" logos on the sleeves, rather than Reebok's omnipresent vector. This would seem to lend a lot of credence to the orange jersey being an actual gamer from way back when, rather than a replication.Also, note that the color and striping on that kids "throwback" jersey are painfully off. Come on, Reebok, do something right.

FiddySicks Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Mike Alstott has been and always will be my favorite player to ever take the field. I had the pleasure of meeting him and getting him to sign my Alstott jersey at the 2002 Pro Bowl. It was easily one of the greatest moments in my sports life. To see him get so much praise and to even have his digit retired by the team makes me extremely happy to be a Bucs fan.

benpc21 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The old man standing behind Alstott -- Is that Archie?? I had yet to notice an old man, hell it took me awhile to notice Mike, his family or the jerseys with that cheerleader there. As Hawks fans we were discussing how they need to import some of the Bucs cheerleaders to our squad, this only solidifies my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambulance Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I had the pleasure of attending junior high with Mike. In a class of only 29 kids at a catholic school, I knew him pretty well way back then. He was always a good guy. I also have a little notebook thing that we compiled & received before graduation. Among the many things in there, they asked to list our dream job. Mike listed NFL Football Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
