CANTON, OHIO -- Sure, Charles Haley won three of his record five Super Bowls in blue and silver with the Dallas Cowboys.
But as San Francisco 49ers fans have always known and the world found out on Thursday, gold is the legend's best color.
Haley, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and member of the 100-sack club, was presented with his Hall of Fame gold jacket at the Memorial Civic Center, just down the road from where he'll be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday evening.
The ceremony marked the official start to Hall of Fame weekend, which will see Haley and seven others immortalized in the game's hallowed halls.
