Rare USFL 84-85 San Antonio Gunslingers Coaches/Trainers Champion Jacket.

What an insanely rare find! This league ceased to exist after 1985. This amount of these that exist is slim to none. It shows its age but entirely wearable. Has a few minor blemishes irrelevant to the rarity of this defunct league. You won't find another. The front logo is embroidered, the back is a print. This is perfect for a football fan and collector of those hard to find historical pieces. The USFL was a professional American Football League that played from 1983-1985. It was established to play in the summer, when NFL and College were in their off season. In August 1984, the USFL voted to move from a spring to a fall schedule in 1986 to compete directly with the NFL. This was done at the urging of New Jersey Generals majority owner Donald Trump and a handful of other owners as a way to force a merger between the leagues. As part of this strategy, the USFL filed an antitrust lawsuit against the National Football League in 1986, and a jury ruled that the NFL had violated anti-monopoly laws. However, in a victory in name only, the USFL was awarded a judgment of just $1, which under antitrust laws, was tripled to $3. This court decision effectively ended the USFL's existence. The San Antonio Gunslingers of the United States Football League ended the 1984 season with a record of 7 wins and 11 losses, finishing third in the USFL's West Division of the Western Conference. Gil Steinke coached the team.
