The San Diego Chargers won their only AFC title to date in 1994, the same year in which the NFL celebrated its 75th Anniversary. This lot features multiple game issued uniform pieces from four former Charger players – John Parrella, Stan Brock, Dennis Gibson and Roman Fortin – spanning seasons played from ’94 to 1999.
The first item is Parrella’s game issued jersey and pants from the ’94 campaign. The powder blue Russell Athletic variation [size 52] boasts the “NFL 75” embroidered anniversary patch on the left chest and proper manufacturers tagging on the left front tail. Parrella’s heat pressed uniform number heat-pressed uniform numbers “97” appears in white on the front and back outlined in yellow. The accompanying size 38 pants are white with the Chargers iconic lightning bolt down the side of either pant leg in yellow outlined in power blue.
Next up is Gibson’s 1995 game ready white road jersey that includes his uniform number “57” heat pressed in navy blue outlined in yellow on the front and back. The Starter jersey includes the official NFL embroidered logo on the bottom of the V-neck collar and his last name – “GIBSON” – in navy blue on a separate white mesh nameplate sewn right onto the back of the jersey. Gibson, you may recall, deflected a Neil O’Donnell pass late in the fourth quarter of the 1994 AFC title game against the Steelers that ensured the Chargers a trip to Super Bowl XXIX.
The third player represented is former right tackle Stan Brock. His Chargers road cold weather jersey is offered here, complete with its built-in hand-warming pockets on the front. Sporting his uniform number “67” in navy blue outlined in yellow on the front and back, the 100% nylon “Sand-Knit” jersey was “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the San Diego Chargers.” A pair of manufacturer’s tags attesting to that is present on the left front tail. His last name – “BROCK” – appears in navy blue across the back of the jersey via a separate white nameplate sewn directly onto the jersey.
Lastly, a pair of game ready pants issued to center Roman Fortin for the 1999 campaign is being offered. The white Adidas pants (size 38) are white with the Chargers iconic lightning bolt down the side of either pant leg in white outlined in navy blue and yellow. The size 38 pants include a “Ripon” tag on the inside crotch area where there is also a “99” tag indicating the season in question. A separate blue belt with silver buckle is included.
