Ernie Davis never wore Nikes, until now. A new statue of the first black player to win the Heisman Trophy depicts him in modern-day football gear — including Nike cleats. The problem is that Davis — the subject of the movie “The Express” — led Syracuse to the national title in 1959 and won the Heisman two years later, before Nike was formed. Call it an honest mistake by the sculptor, 82-year-old Bruno Lucchesi of New York City, who said he was asked to work off a picture of Davis. The school said it also sent him football gear.
