1983 Yosef Club License Plate

Unread post by lillycafe » Wed Aug 08, 2018 1:24 pm

I have had a 1983 Yosef Club license plate on the front of my truck for years. Well, this plate was painted with the Yosef Club stuff on it and over time it has now become just a yellow license plate. Does anyone have a photo of the 1983 Yosef Club license plate? Wanting to get mine redone in vinyl. Thanks.

1983. My first year at App. We were not a school with a long-standing tradition of gridiron success. We were known as a party school attended by Happy Appies. We resented that moniker, but it was true.

It was Mack's only year at the helm, and there was an awesome football poster that read "I can't wait to go to Appalachian State". Say what you will about Mack Brown ,and his friend EC, but 1983 was a turning point.

"I can't wait to go to Appalachian State" is a shirt that I would not mind buying. I would like to see that poster.

I think Jerry Moore and Mack Brown really understand the real power of marketing and branding.

App didn't have a history of consistency like we have had subsequently, but App did enjoy some success in the 70's. The term "Sleeping Giant" was used in reference to App during the 70'. In 1975 we beat ECU, South Carolina and Wake Forest but we lost to WCU, Furman and Richmond. It was a different world.

I’ve collected a few vintage plates over the years. eBay has some pop up for sale from time to time.

I have the poster framed in my basement. Also a freshman that year. What I remember most is it was John Settle’s freshman year. Didn’t really think of APP as any more of a party school than any of the others.
