Dan Marino’s Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Football Greatness
A Legendary Career in the NFL
Dan Marino, a name synonymous with excellence in the NFL, boasts an illustrious career filled with remarkable achievements. A revered Hall of Famer, Marino’s accolades include being the 1984 NFL MVP and Player of the Year, a 9-time Pro Bowler, and a 5-time NFL Passing Yards leader. His legacy is further cemented by holding the NFL record for the most seasons leading the league in completions, with an impressive six seasons.
The Jersey: A Piece of Football History
This extraordinary aqua mesh jersey, worn by Marino himself, is a piece of football memorabilia that captures the essence of his storied career. On the front left tail, the RUSSELL ATHLETIC manufacturer label is prominently displayed, complete with wash instructions, size (XL), and a material tag. The player number “13” is elegantly screened on the front, back, and both sleeves in white and orange, while the player name “MARINO” is emblazoned in white across an aqua nameplate on the back.
Unique Features and Authenticity
What sets this jersey apart are the customized hand warmer pockets on its belly, a unique feature that adds to its allure. Marino has personally signed and inscribed the back number with “Dan Marino 13 HOF 05” in black marker, a signature that, in our opinion, rates an 8. The jersey is further authenticated by the BECKETT WITNESS sticker N25424 affixed to it. This jersey is properly tagged, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate wear.
