Extremely Rare 1984 University of Michigan Wolverines Game Issued Wilson NFL Leather Game Football
This ball arrived showing excellent evidence of prior usage and age and so it was meticulously Conditioned and Conditioned over the course of a several day-period and also given a brand-new coat of painted white "Night" stripes as the previous stripes were worn in quite a bit. This is truly a rare and vintage Wolverines game ball and one that'll look impressive in any U of M sports collection.
Back in the 1980's many college programs were still using NFL game footballs with white stripes (aka "Night Stripes") painted on each end of the ball. Wilson didn't invent the AFCA 1001 NCAA Edition Football for another few years. This particular game ball comes with the "Michigan" school name branded on the leather panel (the standard college logo back during this time period). The "GX" manufacturer's code stamped on the panel converts to March 1984 production.
