In 1986 The University of Illinois retired the number 50 football jersey formally worn by none other than the great Dick Butkus. Butkus was only the second player in University of Illinois history to enjoy this honor. (Harold “Red” Grange was the other.) Two-time unanimously voted All-American (1963 and 1964), Butkus was inducted into the College Hall of Fame in 1983. Butkus also enjoyed the honors of The Big Ten Most Valuable Player in 1963, the American Football Coaches Association Player of the Year in 1964. Butkus went on after college to enjoy a Hall of Fame career in the NFL.
How to Spot Personality Traits through a Football Jersey
I read a funny article that help you discern personality characteristics of people wearing certain football jerseys.
USC fans feel no shame for wearing OJ Simpson USC jerseys when there are so many other Heisman winners from USC you can choose from. According to this article, it shows you are loyal and that “there’s nothing (nothing) a Heisman trophy winner can do to lose your support.”
One of the funniest observations was, “Jersey: Any pink, bedazzled, QB Jersey. What it says: That you’re at this game because of your boyfriend.” Of course that was a dig on Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo. No matter if you love the Cowboys (as I do) or hate them, that was funny…very funny.
Of course it’s all in fun; but to find out what your football jersey says about you, check out the Couch Commentary: What Your Jersey Says About You.

NCAA Football Jerseys Retired to Honor Great Players, Part 3
On September 23, 2006, Michigan State made the wise decision to retire the NCAA football jersey (Number 95) of Charles “Bubba” Smith. The retirement ceremony was held during the 40th anniversary celebration of “The Game of the Century” where Bubba and the rest of the Spartans played against Notre Dame. That’s right, before his great acting career, Bubba Smith was one of the greatest defensive ends to play the game of football. Since his college years, Smith has been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, was drafted into the National Football League, and has won one Superbowl ring.
