    The first number I wore as a child in competitive football was #44 and Leroy Kelly was the reason.

    Jim Brown is the greatest football player who ever lived. Warts and all he's one of us.

    We have an amazing legacy of great players. I say replace the statue of liberty with a giant statue of Otto Graham so everyone who comes to this country knows exactly what being a winner is all about.

    I would love an Otto Graham statue. And Curtis Weathers.

    Can't have too many statues. And I mean that literally. It's diluted if there are too many.

    Yep, although he was the fourth receiver, behind Slaughter, Langhorne and Brennan, he always seem to be involved in the big games and make clutch plays.

    Who said anything about a replica ? The team I PLAYED ON asked what # I wanted, I liked Kelly, so I asked for 44 and got it. It was a memorable time for me as others may remember their first polka.

    I am walking through a lot of bullshit today. Some of it from my friends.

    One guy said the first "player jersey he wore was Leroy Kelly and another said Gene Hickerson.

    The NFL did not have replica jerseys for sale in the days of Hickerson an Leroy Kelly. Nor in the days of Jim Brown, Frank Ryan or Gary Collins. The very first replica jerseys available by the NFL didn't show up until the early 70's, and were only available for the very, very top eschalon positions, QBs for sure. But that was about it.

    None of you ever wore a Kelly or Hickerson jersey unless of course your Mom made it herself. i would defy anyone to show me a picture of a player replica Jersey in 1965. They just didn't exist.

    Go to Ebay and find us 1965 replica jerseys. Again, there never was such a thing.

    Well smarty pants.. I had 66 and My brother had Kellys number 44.. they were kids Browns unis..not official Jerseys.. 😛

    I had a "44" Brown and Orange kids jersey. It was not officially licensed, didn't say NFL or Kelly on it. But it was my Leroy Kelly jersey and I wore it every day playing football in the front yard. This was the early 70's, Mom got it at the Millcreek Mall in Erie, because there was no Browns stuff up in the Allegheny forest, just bear shit, deer shit and Steeler shit.

    I had one, the local print shop made it, it was what I wanted for

    Christmas ! They put the "44" on it, it looked like a Browns jersey,

    and I put "KELLY" on the back, they didn't because of copyright whatever..

    , It was Brown, with the white and orange

    stripes on the sleeves. I kept gluing on the letters, and they fell off

    when I washed it. which wasn't unless it was sweaty in the summer -

    would have had it sewed, but the letters always stood out real nice after

    I redid it...

    The NFL never came after me. I didn't do it for profit, ya know.
