Picked up this Princeton seat cushion this morning off the bay...Looks same vintage or earlier as an Indy 500 seat cushion I have...That's two seat cushions I have now...I guess that makes it a collection...Actually these two are the only sports related antique seat cushions I recall ever seeing...

Rob, I'm a little surprised...you produced some good examples...I didn't know they rented seat cushions. The stenciling on the Seals one is very cool...they're all very cool...where'd ya land all those?

Here is my sole Eagles seat cushion.
By the way Carlton, I was at the estate auction at which the ebay seller of that Princeton cushion bought it. I know you like to know the history of your items, and in case the seller didn't share it in the listing, it came from the estate of Alexander O'Neal. He went to the Haverford School, then onto Princeton, before graduating from Penn Medical school and becoming a physician.

Thanks, Carlton. All are from ebay. Candlestick was $49, NYG was $29 and the Seals was $148. I've seen the Seals on ebay a few times (not recently) and prices are all over the place. Here's a better pic of the stencil:
