Jerry Rice’s 1991 Game Jersey: A Testament to Football Greatness

An Iconic Piece of Football Memorabilia

Step into the world of football legends with this extraordinary piece of sports history: Jerry Rice’s 1991 game jersey. This jersey, a symbol of Rice’s unparalleled career, is a rare find for any football memorabilia enthusiast. Presented to us as game-used, this jersey encapsulates the essence of Rice’s dominance on the field, making it a coveted item for collectors and fans alike.

Details of the Jersey

Crafted with precision, the jersey features the Wilson manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, complete with washing instructions. Attached are two hanging flag tags indicating the size “44” and “DU”. The left sleeve proudly displays the Wilson “W” logo, a mark of authenticity and quality. Across the front, back, and both shoulders, the player number “80” is emblazoned in white tackle twill, a testament to Rice’s iconic presence on the field. Above the number on the back, the name “RICE” is also rendered in white tackle twill, further cementing the jersey’s connection to the legendary wide receiver.

Unique Characteristics and Historical Context

Photos from football cards and Getty images reveal various nuances in Rice’s 1991 game jerseys. Notably, 1991 marked the introduction of the NFL neck shield on jerseys, yet images show Rice wearing jerseys both with and without this feature. This particular jersey does not have the NFL neck shield, nor does it have the Wilson logo on the left sleeve, elastic cuffs, or spandex side inserts. A strong style match can be observed on Rice’s 1992 Skybox Primetime prototype card (#00A), adding to the jersey’s historical significance.

• Player Number: “80” in white tackle twill, a hallmark of Rice’s career.
• Player Name: “RICE” above the number, signifying the jersey’s authenticity.
• Condition: Light to moderate wear, with noticeable puckering on the numbers.
• Provenance: Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from Dave Miedema.
