Here ya go. Not the best pic but this is my favorite hoodie. This is from when my son and I went to see WWE NXT in Allentown Pa last year. He has 4 of the hoodies. 3 home 1 away.

)))))

Very cool! Btw, did you two ever go to any ECW events when it was around? It was based in PA and had shows in Allentown on a regular basis.

lol...Yes Killrazor, I sure did go to ECW down in Philly in the mid 90's. I was on tv every week from like '95-'98 wearing my Rams jersey and hat about 4-5 rows back. A couple of my friends and I actually worked with them for a while and got in the Arena early and had choice of seats so we went for front and center lol. They called me ECW Ramsguy. (they had nicknames for everyone like: Hat Guy, Hawaiian Shirt guy, Sign guy, etc) I still have the "Staff Pass" that we wore at the shows. I never gave it back.

My friend and I created a "dirt sheet" called Pro Wrestling Between the Sheets (PWBTS) that we sold monthly. I would monthly articles. We were able to get access to wrestlers for interviews. It was really fun. After the shows, we'd head for a cheese steak and then to the Ramada Inn to chill with the wrestlers in the bar\lounge area. Met many big names there. I could tell write a book based on some of the things I saw there lol.

Things were different then. A lot of people really believed it was real and the Philly crowd could be brutal. The Police actually had to escort a manager\ref (Bill Alfonso) into the arena to protect him.

Fans were pretty cool and I didn't get hassled "much" lol for my gear. It might have helped that we weren't very good at the time too! People would recognize me at the local sports bar where I went to watch the Rams games. "Hey, aren't you that guy on ECW?!?!" LOL Good times!

You can see me here at the :20 sec mark wearing my Bettis B+Y jersey...

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
