Assorted "Pop" Bottles

If you're from Nebraska, you know what I mean...

1999 Big XII 
Conference Championship Game

This is and 8 oz. Dr. Pepper

     The bottle does not give any details of the game (teams, score, etc.) so must have either been printed and issued prior to the game, or simply kept generic to appeal to both fans of both teams as collectors items.  I only have the single pictured for now.

 


1997 Coke National Champions


     Note the script "Nebraska Cornhuskers" on the neck above the '97 National Champions logo.  This is an 8 oz. bottle.

I do have pair of these, so I guess I'm four short of a six-pack!

 


1997 Big XII 
Conference Championship Game

This is and 8 oz. Dr. Pepper
I have a full 6-pack of this one!

     Virtually the same as the 1999 version pictured above, with the exception of having a cream or white Alamodome logo, and smaller Dr. Pepper football.  The photos are of two separate bottles, hence the difference in volume!


95/96 National Champions Coke Error

     The intentions were good, but the dates were wrong.  These are getting more scarce as people are realizing what they have.

The single is mine, the six-pack ain't!


1994 Coke National Champions

     This one has a pretty cool red logo.  It is hard to read in the picture, but the bottom line reads
"PERFECT 12-0 SEASON".  The front side is a standard Coke design.

This is an 8 oz. bottle




 


1912-1975 NU/OU Series Bottle

     The white band at the bottom lists the scores for the entire NU vs. OU series.  The scores start with 1975 in the first column, working back to 1912 in the last column.  The lettering above the Dr. Pepper logo states "Commemorative Bottle."  This is a 16 oz. bottle.


1970/71 National Champs Commemorative Bottle - Pepsi

     The front sports the common Harry Husker figure in the center of a "GO BIG RED Nebraska Cornhuskers" ring.  Just above it in white script lettering, "Commemorative Bottle".  The common Back-to-Back logo sitting atop the Huskers' bowl record from 1969 through 1974 adorns the back.  I've got a full one.

The bottom of the front proudly states:
"2 National Championships"
"5 Straight Bowl Victories"


Husker Soda!
Reynolds and Cardwell

    I'm not sure of the date, but these two Big Red Soda Pop bottles commemorate two of Nebraska's greatest players: Bobby Reynolds and Lloyd Cardwell.

The bottles proudly proclaim "Champion in Flavor"

I now own one of the "#12" Reynolds bottles.

 


Husker Soda!
Reynolds and Cardwell

    I'm not sure of the exact date on these, either, but they are very recent.  Maybe 2000 or even 2001.  The bottles differ from the original 1950's versions mainly in the fact that they have an actual paper label, not one printed directly on the bottle.  The labels are not the same size, as you can see from the photo.  The player is wearing #12 in both.  Cream Soda and Cola flavors, more to come as I find them.  Thanks to "Dutch" Murray for the contribution to Husker J!


Husker Soda!
Big Red Punch!

    These were 28 oz. bottles filled with "Big Red Punch" for those "Big Red Thirsts". Another great product out of Seward, NE.

(not mine!)

 


1960's BIG RED Soda

 

    May not be a true Husker item, but Big Red Soda is always a Husker Fan favorite.  This is a 10 oz bottle form the 1960's or so, stands 10-1/2 inches high.

 

not mine...
