Does anyone know why there's such a shortage on Gino Capalletti throwback jerseys? Long story short I ordered one last year from the Patriots Pro Shop, they didn't have any so I got a John Hannah instead. Since then I keep checking back and they never have them anymore. I've even written to the Pro Shop a couple times and asked if they are going to get any more in and they always answer with something like, "Yes, very soon!"

I've looked all over the web and just can't seem to find them anywhere else either. There is one on eBay but it's too small.

Is there some kind of licensing problem with these or something? Does it have something to do with the legal fight between the old players and the NFLPA?

I've checked into this for you, did a bit of digging, and it appears that the person in charge of applying the names to the shirts is a poor speller. Quite frankly, Hannah is an easier name to spell than Capi....Copol....Capel.........never mind.

If you want a throwback Gino jersey that happens to be autographed feel free to PM me. Unfortunately I do not have an unsigned one - but I'll keep my eyes open.

When I've contacted the ProShop, I was informed that throwback jerseys don't sell very well, and no more will be made. They're going to sell what they have, and then that's it.

I have found Russ Francis and Sam Cunningham jerseys available for purchase through other channels that a web search will locate.

How pathetic. Its not like having some throwback jerseys on hand for old time Pat's fans will break the bank at the ProShop. Yeah...I know its a business...big deal. Loyalty goes both ways....fans supported this franchise when it was the sorriest one in the league, and now they can't bother to keep $5000 in jerseys on hand that will sell eventually....just a little slower.

The Pats are a business, but they are more than a business too and their heritage should not be discarded for peanuts.

I cannot agree more. As soon as I saw it, I bought it.

Ive always tried to shop elsewhere. The proshop is really a pain in the fans *****. I wont even get started on how much they rip you off for shipping. Nope, I'll look there, and see whats new, but then go find it elsewhere.
