This page got its start with a huge contribution from Cory Johnson of Omaha, starting with his collection of buckles made by ErnMe Buckle Co in Alma, NE in the first section. They started making them in 1983 and continue to the present. They have the season schedule with score results on the reverse side of the buckles. They are made from pewter. |

Here are some buckles from A&K Buckle Co. from Alma, NE. Long story but the sales man from ErnMe started making buckles on the side while working for ErnMe. Once they found out about it, he no longer worked there. The Blackshirts and the Pipeline buckles are super sweet! Then the Devaney/Osborne and Osborne buckles are priceless! Same as the ErnMe buckles, they are made from pewter and have the scores on the back, plus some have a brief history of why the buckle was made. For example the Blackshirts buckle states: "The term Blackshirts originated in 1964 under the leadership of George Kelley. Up to the present time a defensive player knows when he has made the starting defensive unit when he opens his locker and sees a black practice jersey hanging in front of him. The Blackshirts have come to be regarded as one of the most intimidating defenses in the nation." |

Here are a few other buckles from miscellaneous companies. I'll add a few of my own in the future, and if anyone out there has others to share, don't hesitate to send them in. |
