Thrift Store Treasures

I should have posted this ages ago...While shopping in an Auckland, NZ thrift store ("opp shop"), I came across this little gem:



It's a small world, huh? A 1970's (or very early '80s) Stanford football jersey/sweatshirt.

Note: How do I know it's from the 1970's? I know this because of the "Stanford Cardinals" printed on the front. After the removal of the "Indians" mascot in 1972, Stanford adopted the nickname "Cardinals." The color, not the bird. Odd, I know. It wasn't until 1981 that the plural form was converted to singular--to what we now know as the "Stanford Cardinal."
