The next couple of blogs (I think) will be about the events of the Super Bowl as the Bay Area is hosting the same (San Francisco is the host city and the game will played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara). Over the weekend I went to the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara. They hosted an exhibit called "Gridiron Glory", the best thing about it was the cost. It was free:
 |
| A 1910 Akron Indians Football |
 |
| Hall of Famer's Redskins Sammy Baugh's helmet |
 |
| 1927 Duluth Eskimos jersey |
 |
| 1954 Cleveland Browns signed football |
 |
| Doug Williams Super Bowl XXII uniform |
 |
| 1940's Chicago Bear Hall of Famer Sid Luckman's jersey |
 |
| Detroit Lion HOFer Joe Schmdt's 1962 helmet |
 |
| Dutch Clark's 1937 Detroit Lion uniform |
 |
| The Cleveland Brown jersey of the great Jim Brown |
 |
| A couple of great QB's-Brett Farve and Kurt Warner |
 |
| The shoe that Tom Dempsey used to kick his record 63-yard field goal in 1970. Dempsey was born with a half of foot on his kicking foot. |
 |
| What they are playing for: The Vince Lombardi Trophy |
Fab photos :-)

ReplyDeleteI'm not a football person, but I must root for our NC team to win the Super Bowl!

ReplyDeletePatrick, perfect timing to share these photos and what fun it must have been to walk through the pages of football history. Thanks for sharing and linking up with me today. I hope to see you again next week, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI love free exhibits too!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be quite the event around here this weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow! Some of those items were quite old. I think those were the ones I was most impressed with. I don't follow the Super Bowl, but I will be mentioning it on Friday's post with the weekend linky party.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how the uniforms have changed! The wear so much more protective gear now. We have a hockey museum here (of course) and it is interesting to see the history of the game.
ReplyDeleteLook at all those memorabilia. So neat!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! Pinned and tweeted! Thank you so much for sharing this with us at our linky party. We hope to see you next Monday @ 7 because we can’t wait to see your new creations! Happy Friday! Lou Lou Girls
