Michael Clayton’s Historic First Touchdown Jersey

A Momentous Occasion in NFL History

On October 3rd, 2004, in a thrilling home game against the Denver Broncos, Michael Clayton etched his name into the annals of NFL history by catching his first touchdown pass. This significant moment in Clayton’s career is immortalized in the very fabric of the jersey he wore that day. The jersey is a testament to his early promise and burgeoning talent, marking a pivotal point in his professional journey.

Exquisite Details and Craftsmanship

The jersey is adorned with meticulous details that speak to its authenticity and significance. On the inside below the rear collar, a strip tag with “04-40” is printed, signifying the year and size. The v-neck proudly displays the official “NFL EQUIPMENT” shield logo, embroidered with precision. Below this, “BUCCANEERS” is elegantly stitched in black on white, a nod to the team Clayton represented with pride.

The player number “80” is emblazoned on the front, back, and each shoulder in a striking red on orange on black triple tackle twill. Across the back, the player name “CLAYTON” is prominently displayed in red tackle twill on a white nameplate. Each shoulder bears the Reebok logo and a team logo patch, further enhancing the jersey’s authenticity.
