1990 Joe Montana SF 49ers Game-Used & Autographed Jersey

Joe Montana’s Iconic Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

The Legacy of Joe Montana

Joe Montana, a name synonymous with excellence and poise under pressure, is celebrated as one of the most successful quarterbacks in NFL history. With a career adorned with accolades, Montana’s legacy is cemented by his four Super Bowl victories, three Super Bowl MVP awards, and two regular season MVP honors, including the prestigious 1990 title. His induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000 and the retirement of his iconic No. 16 jersey by the San Francisco 49ers further underscore his legendary status.

A Jersey Steeped in History

This remarkable red mesh jersey, worn by Montana, is a piece of football memorabilia that captures the essence of his storied career. The jersey features a “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions and a flag tag marked “46.” The player number “16” is prominently displayed on the front, back, and both sleeves, while the name “MONTANA” graces the back on a red mesh nameplate. All numbering and lettering are crafted in white tackle twill, with a Wilson logo embroidered below the player number on the left sleeve.

Authenticity and Provenance

Presented to us as game-used, this jersey is properly tagged and, in our opinion, shows excellent wear.

Accompanying this extraordinary piece is a full JSA LOA, along with a letter from an Oilers Video Coordinator who sourced the jersey from Bronco Hinek, the 49ers’ Equipment Manager at the time.
