It's Football Season! Show your vintage football memorabilia

[RelicSports]

Here are a couple of my Grange items...a print from his college days and a studio portrait signed which was also used for one of his Shotwell cards

I'll post my favorite Michigan collectible since they just had a nice win over Florida (despite two pick-6s).

In 1901 the University of Michigan football team had a historic year, going 10-0 and scoring 501-0 under coach Fielding Yost's inaugural season. After the regular season, Michigan traveled out west to Pasadena to play in the inaugural Rose Bowl game on January 1, 1902, where they easily defeated Stanford 49-0. College Hall of Famers on this championship squad included Willie Heston, Neil Snow (Rose Bowl MVP), Fielding Yost (coach), and Dan McGugin (later Vanderbilt coach).

Posted here is a banquet program in honor of this historic team, signed by the entire Varsity squad along with the Athletic Board and Board of Control. This banquet was held at the Cook House for the 'Champions of the West' two weeks before their trip to Pasadena. This particular copy belonged to Ben Southworth, who was a substitute on the team.

Chris, that signed banquet program is unbelievable!!

Jeff, those programs are equally great.

In regards to Michigan, I used to own a program from the 1903 Michigan / Minnesota game at Northrop Field which is the original little brown jug game. Despite it's cornerstone aura, I ended up selling it as the Michigan guys made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I haven't seen it surface since I sold it, but I'm an advanced Michigan collector is highlighting it right now. It also helped me fund other purchases for my collection. I have the opening game 1903 program from Northrop Field which is going to have to be good enough for my collection.

Wow! I'm a hater, but that's beautiful.

Let's see if Coach Khaki can beat Urban this year.

I'm a huge Ohio State football collector of anything vintage. I just moved to Chicago for work and haven't finished setting up my den at home but will provide pictures once everything is up and complete. In the meantime, here are some photos of my favorite items. I'm only 25 years old and I just started collecting so I don't have a lot of game used memorabilia yet. Mainly just paper
