Thank you both for the kind words. The surgery was planned, and I felt decent when I got home but nosedived overnight & throughout the next day. Having sepsis wasn't on my 2024 Bingo card, I can definitely tell you. Having 3 separate IVs in me plus a special Midline on my upper arm, with constant heprin shots, and ampicillin every 6 hours round the clock for 7 days just wore me out.

Thank you again for the positive thoughts. This coming year is good and I can finally go back to work.


Awesome collection buddy. I still have my OG 1991 Russell Athletic authentic Randall jersey in my closet. Still fits me too. 1991 was the first year they put the NFL shield on the yoke of the V-neck. And these jerseys were the painted numbers AND having a name was NOT a standard thing. It cost a bunch more to have the stitched nameplate on the back. Mind doesn't have it but I'm probably gonna have one added.

I’ve been thinking of grabbing a Reggie white Russell and getting the nameplate put on.

I'm going to admit acquiring this jersey a year ago motivated me to get these Jordan XIs earlier this month to wear with it. Otherwise, I probably would have passed on them.

Watch this be the common jersey and shoes combination worn by peeps in public in the next few years to come.

Don’t think the common public is shelling out that kind of money to match their j’s like some here.

It's not a bad idea really. There are decent amounts of OG jerseys on eBay for somewhat reasonable $$$. Here is the website I've looked into about getting a nameplate for my 1991 Russell.

Custom Nameplate - Twillworks

Ready to sew on, custom one, two, or three color jersey nameplates. Available in a variety of colors. Additional custom options and team pricing available.

twillworks.com

They have several shades of Kelly Green. I'm gonna get sample swatches to be sure. You can even send your jersey to them and they can add the nameplate themselves (takes longer) or you can just get the nameplate and have a local shop near you do it. For the $$$ it's very reasonable.

Having these two jerseys motivated me to get the 2024 Jordan III Black Cement to match with them. I'm glad I finally have the right shoes to wear with them.

Got a great M&N story. I was in the hospital from Dec 10th to the 16th getting surgery (ileostomy) to help from having severe Crohn's. Got out and went right back in the next day due to sepsis (was THISCLOSE to having all my internal organs shutting down ). On the 19th, I got to my actual room in recovery (from the ER on the 17th & the ICU on the 18th to early 19th). While resting in my room, I scrolled IG and Mitchell & Ness's flagship store post came up. They were FINALLY releasing the throwback Randall Cunningham "I'm Back Scrambling" hat that coming Saturday (21st).

I was still gonna be in the hospital for or a while (I didn't get out until Christmas Eve around 9:00 and I got home around 10:30pm. So I was gonna miss this release as it was in-store ONLY and 1 per person). Saw their story that Saturday of the line of people waiting for one (at least 50 people probably more). I was so freaking bummed as I still have both hats when I was in 8th grade (wearing the "I'll Be Back Scrambling" hat and 9th with the "I'm Back Scrambling" hat).

Well, as crazy as I am, I drove the 45 minutes (from the burbs) to their store on Walnut on the day after Christmas, less than 38 hours out of the hospital to see if they had any left. Walked in, asked and they said they were sold out! Totally bummed out, I told the one guy there why I wanted one and proceeded to take the OG hat from my backpack to show him. THAT sparked his interest as he saw how much I wanted one (throw in being stuck in the hospital as well). Guy went to the back to see if any were left and he brought out one for me to buy!

As a lifelong Eagles fan (I'm 48 and Randall will ALWAYS be my #1 Eagle & I still wear his jersey every Sunday) this hat meant so much to me. Dude made my Christmas that morning. He really was hoping I brought the other hats I have (Randall Cunningham show, & the other QB Club hat). I got a follow-up down in the city in a few weeks. I'll swing by so they can see the other one as they plan on making the "I'll Be Back Scrambling" hat next. I can wait to get that one next.

Pics of the hats below & a shot of Randall wearing them.

Thanks for sharing all that.

I never realized they made caps specifically for an individual player back then. It was team headwear most of the time. And it's interesting it was available for fans too.

It won't be anything unique or special. I'll just wear denim shorts with those as it's my simple preference to wear with basketball jerseys.

I loved Randall growing up

Anybody pick up the newer 75th Ann. Randall? I'm real curious about the different between that and this '92 version. I'm trying to justify owning both if it can be more than just the patch

The Numbers are a little different and the sleeves don't have cuffs.
