Conditions on NFL gridirons can get pretty rough when "Old Man Winter" comes a calling. Even rugged stalwarts such as Art Donovan and Johnny Unitas needed a little help in braving the frigid Baltimore winters at 33rd and Ellerslie. This 1950s-1960s sideline cape provided ample protection for Colts players from Sundays past. Fashioned as a reversible purple and silver hooded wool garment, this massive cape features a SandKnit tag inside of the silver side pocket, and silver snap buttons enable fastening. Large enough to fit over shoulder pads and all, this sleeveless coverall has angled pockets and proud “BALTIMORE COLTS” letter patches on both sides. Abundant signs of authentic game wear is evident including considerable staining on the silver side.
