OT: Game Used Oddities....

[Vikingshelmetguy]

Randy Moss originally wore #18 on his jersey during the pre-season of his Rookie year with the Vikings, before he switched to his famous #84. Similarly, Duante Culpepper wore #12 on his jersey during the pre-season of his Rookie year with the Vikings, before he switched to his famous #11 (I think because #11 made him look more slender).

Finally found a photo of NHL goalie Roland Melanson playing for the Minnesota North Stars (in 1984) where he was wearing a green and gold North Stars uniform, yet he was wearing orange and blue colored pads and using an orange and blue goalie stick which were the colors of his former team, the New York Islanders.

I posted this photo, and somehow it is not showing up.... Here it is again:

I found this pic in my basketball library, is dated late 70...no player used # 50 from 70 to 1982-83 (Steve Mix) so probably an extra team jersey

This is a cool thread that deserves revisiting...

My favorite which I have brought up before, Darren O'Day wearing Kason Gabbard's jersey.

In 2009, Joe Torre wore a Cardinals helmet while coaching first base. He played for St. Louis from 1969-1974 & managed them from 1990-1995.

In 2009, Roy Halladay batted with the helmet of Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays for his at-bat. The Rays' logo had been removed from the front of the helmet, but it was still identifiable due to its color and Longoria's number "3" on the back.

In 1975, the Oakland Athletics wore four different uniforms during the All-Star Game. Infielders Gene Tenace and Bert Campaneris wore yellow jerseys while outfielders Joe Rudi and Reggie Jackson and relief pitcher Rollie Fingers donned green ones. All five wore white pants. Pitcher Vida Blue's shirt and pants were both yellow. Dark and the coaching staff wore all-white uniforms, as did outfielder Claudell Washington.
