William Oldenburg, an aggressive promoter who immediately began throwing money at the highest-profile young talent in football. In 1984 the Express signed BYU quarterback Steve Young to a contract worth a reported $40 million over 43 years — the richest deal in pro sports history at the time — alongside Heisman runner-up Mel Gray, USC running back Kevin Nelson, and a young offensive line including future Pro Bowler Gary Zimmerman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the field the Express went 10–8 in 1984 and reached the conference finals. Off the field, Oldenburg's empire imploded under SEC investigations, the league had to take over the franchise, and 1985 was a death-march of empty Coliseum crowds (one game reportedly drew 7,500), unpaid bills, and players being asked to drive themselves to the stadium. The team finished 3–15 and folded with the league. Steve Young eventually wound up in San Francisco, won three Super Bowls, and made the Hall of Fame — but his cult following with the Express jersey on never went away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 32px;\" class=\"tagline\"\u003eLA Express at Royal Retros — Authentic Throwbacks.

Protecting Young at left tackle was Gary Zimmerman, the Express's 1984 territorial draft pick, who would go on to a 12-year NFL career with the Vikings and Broncos and earn his own Pro Football Hall of Fame induction in 2008. Los Angeles went 8–10 in 1983, surged to 10–8 in 1984, and made a triple-overtime playoff loss to the Michigan Panthers — the longest game in pro football history at the time — one of the league's signature moments. Financial collapse hit the franchise in 1985, and Young's contract was eventually voided when the league folded, but the Express's tenure launched two Hall of Fame NFL careers and cemented LA's place in original USFL lore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UFL","offers":[{"title":"Navy \/ S","offer_id":42101464596549,"sku":"1370996_4111","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ M","offer_id":42101464629317,"sku":"1370996_4112","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ L","offer_id":42101464662085,"sku":"1370996_4113","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ XL","offer_id":42101464694853,"sku":"1370996_4114","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 2XL","offer_id":42101464727621,"sku":"1370996_4115","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 3XL","offer_id":42101464760389,"sku":"1370996_12874","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 4XL","offer_id":42101464793157,"sku":"1370996_12875","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 5XL","offer_id":42101464825925,"sku":"1370996_12873","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ S","offer_id":42101464858693,"sku":"1370996_4141","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ M","offer_id":42101464891461,"sku":"1370996_4142","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ L","offer_id":42101464924229,"sku":"1370996_4143","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ XL","offer_id":42101464956997,"sku":"1370996_4144","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ 2XL","offer_id":42101464989765,"sku":"1370996_4145","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ 3XL","offer_id":42101465022533,"sku":"1370996_5304","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ 4XL","offer_id":42101465055301,"sku":"1370996_5319","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ 5XL","offer_id":42101465088069,"sku":"1370996_12877","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Athletic Heather \/ S","offer_id":42101465120837,"sku":"1370996_6948","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Athletic Heather \/ M","offer_id":42101465153605,"sku":"1370996_6949","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Athletic Heather \/ L","offer_id":42101465186373,"sku":"1370996_6950","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Athletic Heather \/ XL","offer_id":42101465219141,"sku":"1370996_6951","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Athletic Heather \/ 2XL","offer_id":42101465251909,"sku":"1370996_6952","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Athletic Heather \/ 3XL","offer_id":42101465284677,"sku":"1370996_6953","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Athletic Heather \/ 4XL","offer_id":42101465317445,"sku":"1370996_6954","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Athletic Heather \/ 5XL","offer_id":42101465350213,"sku":"1370996_12876","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ S","offer_id":42101465382981,"sku":"1370996_4011","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ M","offer_id":42101465415749,"sku":"1370996_4012","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ L","offer_id":42101465448517,"sku":"1370996_4013","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ XL","offer_id":42101465481285,"sku":"1370996_4014","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ 2XL","offer_id":42101465514053,"sku":"1370996_4015","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ 3XL","offer_id":42101465546821,"sku":"1370996_5294","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ 4XL","offer_id":42101465579589,"sku":"1370996_5309","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ 5XL","offer_id":42101465612357,"sku":"1370996_12872","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2379\/8161\/files\/unisex-staple-t-shirt-navy-front-67da3d6e07bba.jpg?v=1770789777"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2379\/8161\/collections\/la_express_collection_page.png?v=1775755638","url":"https:\/\/www.royalretros.com\/collections\/los-angeles-express.oembed","provider":"Royal Retros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
