‘69-’70 was what this looked like! Jets..early ‘69....SB3 win.....Mets in october in 5 over the darn birds...and the knicks over Jerry, Elgin and Wilt in seven for the ‘70 NBA Title in may of ‘70. nice for us old guys talking about the old days huh? It feels like it all only happened yesterday dosen’t it? (that line was from ‘The glory of their Times’.....the greatest MLB book ever.....if you have not read the 1966 book...get it), those old timers were something else!

If you want to feel sad and old, I was at a fair yesterday and a man was walking by with a green and white #12 jersey on and I nudged the younger guy next to me and said “Hey, a Broadway Joe shirt”. The guy asked who the hell was that!

You are closer on the vintage of the picture. Lapels were not that wide yet in ‘70. You also had Namath hair versus clean cut Johnny Unitus.
