Above is a Super Bowl XLI Bears Vs. Colts Football Autographed by Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith. Only 125 of these autographed balls were available. The "Historic Event" pertains to Super Bowl XLI because it was the FIRST Super Bowl where the Head Coaches of both competitors ( The Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts) were African American. Below is an article about Fritz Pollard, who was the first African American NFL Coach, to which this Collector's ball is dedicated.
Frederick Douglass “Fritz” Pollard was the first
African American coach in the National Football League.
“Fritz” Pollard grew up in Chicago. By the time he
graduated from high school, he was a talented baseball player, running back and
a three-time Cook County track champion. He briefly played football for
Northwestern, Harvard and Dartmouth before receiving a scholarship from the
Rockefeller family to attend Brown University in 1915.
It was here where Pollard led his squad to the 1915
Rose Bowl game. He was the first African American to play in the Rose Bowl, and
the second to be named an All-American in college football. After leaving
Brown, Pollard briefly pursued a degree in dentistry, worked as director of an
army YMCA, and coached football at Lincoln University.
Pollard signed to play for the Akron Pros in the
American Professional Football Association (APFA) and led Akron to a
championship in 1920. He was named head coach in 1921 and continued to play for
the Pros as well. The APFA was renamed the National Football League (NFL) in
1922, making Pollard the first African American coach in NFL history."

Bought this great autographed shirt (I also have a large collection of 1983 Huddles items posted on this blog). The Sellers offered this as a description of the auction:
"1983 Huddles Chicago Bears '85 Superbowl Team Signature T-Shirt
This
autograph T-Shirt was signed by nine members of the 1985 Chicago Bears football
team, the champions of Superbowl XX. Signers include Dennis McKinnon,
Brian Baschnagel, Jimbo Covert, Walter Payton, Gary Fencik, Steve McMichael,
Dan Hampton, Mike Singletary and William Perry. Four of these players are
in the NFL Hall of Fame. My wife and I chased all over the Chicago area
collecting these signatures and I personally witness each signing. Many
examples of these signatures can easily be found searching Ebay and other
Internet sites for comparison. The shirt has never been worn or
washed. Size medium."
