Andy Losik got something very special for Christmas: His mom made him a quilt, with 1970s NFL mini-pennants on one side and a late-1960s NFL bedsheet on the other.
The mini-pennant side is shown above, and here’s the other side, followed by some close-ups:
That’s one great present! And, I gather, one very special mom.
The bedsheet side is clearly post-merger, so early 1970s, while the pennant side would be circa 1978-1979, given the green Jets helmet and the white stripe visible on the Giants helmet.
Best present ever!
My bed:
“I’d wear that!”
What a great looking quilt.
That made me chuckle. Thanks for doing your thing, Jim.
I still have the curtains that match that bedsheet hanging in the room I’m currently sitting in. When I was young, along with the curtains, I had the matching bedspread, sheets & pillowcases, and sleeping bag to boot.
That’s fantastic!
I have matching bath towels!
Cool quilt. My mom’s a quilter, so this is something I think she would like as well. It is interesting the white side of the quilt with all of the different logos look to be pre-1976 (no Seahawks or Buccaneers), but on the pennant (green) side, it has the Seahawks and Buccaneers. Still really cool. I love the pennants and old logos.
What a great present! Quite the skilled quilter!
Definitely 1977 or later on the pennant side since the Seahawks helmet has a logo.
What a great quilt!
It’s amazing how solid the NFL was as a brand in the 1970s. Buying a blanket or sheets with every team on it suggests the popularity of the sport itself went way beyond your own favorite team. This quilt rocks.
He has an awesome and talented mom. Wow!
Love the old Oilers logo on the sheet.
Lovely!
It says do yourself. How???
Fantastic gift. Fantastic mom.
