Offered here is a vintage 1977 Tennessee Volunteers art print by artist Steve Ford, published by Lazy Lane Graphics and featuring a classic still-life arrangement of Tennessee football equipment including a Volunteers helmet, jersey, shoulder pads, and Wilson football. The artwork captures the spirit of 1970s college football and showcases the iconic Tennessee orange color scheme that has made the Volunteers one of the most recognizable programs in NCAA history.
The print is hand-signed by Steve Ford in pencil and measures approximately 11" x 14". A particularly desirable feature is the inclusion of the original presentation envelope, marked "TENNESSEE," which accompanied the print when originally distributed. The artwork dates to 1977, placing it among the earlier collectible Tennessee sports art prints produced during that era.
The Tennessee Volunteers football program traces its roots back to 1891 and has produced numerous conference championships, All-Americans, and legendary coaches. Memorabilia from the 1970s remains popular among Tennessee alumni and collectors, especially pieces featuring the classic Block "T" helmet design depicted in this artwork.
Condition Summary
The print appears to be in outstanding vintage condition. I was unable to identify any significant flaws during inspection. There are no obvious tears, stains, foxing, creases, pinholes, or edge damage visible. Colors remain strong and the paper remains clean and bright. The included original envelope shows only light storage wear and minor age-related handling marks. Overall, this is a highly displayable collector-grade example.
