1970s GO BIG RED!

     Not sure of the exact date this was put out, but likely in the 1970 or 1971 season, as late as 1972. The "The Nebraska" logo is similar to others from garment bags from that same era.

Valentino's 3D Stadium Cup

     This is an interesting cup that was never released. A small batch was made before it was decided not to use the design. Very few were taken out of the plant and survive today. Most likely from 2004 or 2005. Produced by Digital Replay, stands just over 7" tall.

 

The first 3D panel features Memorial Stadium, with the "N" switching between an aerial photo on game day with an artist's rendering of the planned North Stadium expansion.  The second features a shot of Mike Rozier circa 1983, with the "N" switching between the Big XII Trophy and the Heisman.  The third panel features photos of Tommie Frazier, Tom Novak, and George Flippin in the "N". 

 

Thanks to Dustin Fanning for the cup and info.

2009 300th Sellout Season Stadium Cups

     This is the 3-D stadium cup used during the 2009 season to commemorate the 300th consecutive sellout of Nebraska Cornhusker Football at Memorial Stadium. The 300th sellout came September 26th against the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns, and resulted in a 55-0 shutout.  Made by Technimark, stands 6-1/2" tall.
