1984 Golden Bears
(Authentic Reproduction)

A slight change to the helmet decal found a white border around the navy blue “CAL” and also around the athletic gold bear claw logo. Kapp's critics pointed to '84's 2-9 record and said that this was the true reflection of his coaching abilities. Slow-footed but rifle-armed QB Gilbert completed a sterling career at Cal and while never a full-time NFL starter, became the answer to a trivia question playing for Seattle, Buffalo, and San Diego as he became the first player in league history to be a member of five consecutive Super Bowl teams, four with the Bills and one with San Diego. Big tackle Doug Riesenberg was disappointing and the defense suffered although soph LB Hardy Nickerson was an impact player, setting a new school tackle record with 141, and the secondary played well.
