    Description

    I am offering this authentic Game Issued Wilson AFCRT 1001 "Grizzlies 89" Football. This football shows decent evidence of much play-wear, has the well-intact "Grizzlies 89" logo burned into the leather panel and holds air just fine. It, also, has the date code of "BZ"
    This "AFCRT" logo has an interesting history. In 1986, someone noticed that College quarterback Jim Harbaugh was using an NFL football and notified Sports Illustrated about it. This created a big uproar and Wilson created the new footballs for Colleges with the "AFCRT" logo from 1986 to 1989. The logo stands for "American Football Coaches Retirement Trust".
    This will make a great play or display piece for many seasons ahead!
    If any questions or need additional information before bidding, please feel free to contact me.
    Thanks,
