So.... we are back to the '82 Rose bowl again. The 1981 Iowa Hawkeyes Big Ten Champions Commemorative bottle, with season record on the reverse showing the Hawks going 8-3 in Hayden Fry's 2nd year as coach, leading them to the 1st winning season in 20 years. The Bottle is unopened, and still has a slight bit of fizz is you gently shake it. It is a great bit of Hawkeye history.Coke has always been a great memorabilia dealer, and 25 Straight Sided designs were released that year. Iowa was included with Football National Champion Penn State, NCAA Men's Champ UNC and other very good teams. You can see the list
here.
Price: $2.99
Bought At: Iowa City Stuff ETC.
Condition: Fair, bottle cap is rusting
Going For: Online they are fetching between $2 and $25
Finding one of these in good condition with the cap still attached has made this one of my favorite pieces. So open happiness Hawkeye Fans. Just don't touch my 33 year old bottle.
Go Hawks
