Like a lot of guys on this board, I collect Chevrolet dealership merchandise and really like the Sports Department stuff.
From what I've been able to collect and research Chevy included the 69 Sports Department stuff in their showroom merchandising album. This included the lighted sign, banner, door posters, baseball cap, golf balls, playing cards, golf or sports towel, and keychain.
Chevy really expanded the program in 70 and produced at least 2 specific albums devoted to just Sports Department stuff.
Then there's the 71 version that Rick Mr70 posted. That one did not have the signs , displays and other things in them as it seemed Chevy was winding down on the showroom advertising by then.
My take on the Jackets is there were 2 different vendors producing these for Chevy and the ones I have and have had with the red outlined patches were made by the Great Lakes jacket company whereas the ones that had the gold outlined patches were made by the Crown Company of California.
