gray flannel auction Now this rare item has fallen into his hands… and it will go to the highest bidder!!
The coat features the Generals logo patch, Trump’s name stitched in red on the chest, and the original O’SHEA label sewn inside the neckline.
So, what happened to the USFL?? Trump infamously filed a lawsuit against the NFL in an attempt to force a merger. That suit ended with a “victory in name only” and a $1 verdict, which was later tripled to $3 due to antitrust laws.
Many believed that Trump’s actions played a major factor in the collapse of the USFL in 1986. The league lost more than $163 million.
There were many notable people in the USFL — jim kelly, steve young, reggie whiteand Trump’s current friend/former general, Ambassador to the United States Hershel Walker.
