Was the "Rupe" a one-off thing?
Not sure. There wa was a season or two where players were allowed to have a nickname on the back of their jerseys.
Dick Allen had WAMPUM on his A's jersey.
Johnny Lemaster had BOO on his Giants Jersey.
I think Andy Messersmith had CHANNEL on his Braves jersey to advertise Channel 17 for ted Turner.
Trying to think of others
I think Hawk Harrelson had HAWK.
Dick Allen had FUCKYOUWHITEPEOPLEBECAUSEYOUARELEGITIMATELYTERRIBLE on his, my personal fav
Found an article. Looks like Hawk was the first:

Actually, he had WAMPUM.
I know it didn't exist but a COBRA Dave Parker jersey would be the bee's tits.
Motherfuckin' Cobra was a bad, bad man

A black and gold Jason mask with an old Pirates uni would be an amazing Halloween costume.
The cig photo is an all-time great sports photo.
