1970 Season Results Coffee Mug

Extremely nice coffee mug featuring the schedule and results from the 1970 National Championship season featuring the Harry Husker mascot.  Either side of the handle lists the scores from the season.

1970s Go Big Red

One of many items issued in 1970 to usher in the new helmet style by the Cornhuskers.  The Huskers switched from the NU on the side to the single N in order to avoid the appearance of copying the OU helmet style.

1970s Go Big Red Helmet

Another nice thermal mug, this one includes a red base that attaches to your car/truck dash with double-sided tape to keep your mug from sliding.  1970s era due to the design of the face mask, maybe another early 1970s item commemorating the helmet change.

1970s Go Big Red Herbie

Very similar to the one above, but featuring Herbie Husker, officially adopted as the mascot starting the 1974 season. Same base included with this version as above.

1980s Go Big Red

Another very nice insulated mug, but with no specific season or event attributed to it. I am guessing that it came from the decade of the 1980s, but could be earlier.

1980s Go Big Red Helmet

Another very nice insulated mug, but with no specific season or event attributed to it. It does have a handle that you cannot see in the photo.  I am guessing that it came from the decade of the 1980s from the style of the helmet artwork.  Note the block "N" on the helmet.

4-1/2" tall

Very nice novelty insulated helmet mug, probably from the 1980s or early 1990s. Removable cup for cleaning.
