2006 Tim Tebow Florida Gators Freshman Year Bench Worn Road Jersey

Tim Tebow’s Florida Gators Jersey: A Symbol of Triumph

A Legendary Season

The 2006 season was a defining moment for the Florida Gators, as they emerged victorious as National Champions. Under the leadership of the already legendary quarterback Tim Tebow, the Gators navigated the toughest schedule in the nation, determined by opponent winning percentage. Their journey to glory was marked by a triumphant victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks, securing their seventh SEC title with a 38–28 win in the SEC Championship Game on December 2, 2006. This victory paved the way for their dominant performance against the Ohio State Buckeyes, culminating in a 41–14 triumph in the BCS National Championship Game on January 8, 2007.

Tebow’s Impactful Debut

Tim Tebow’s SEC debut against the Tennessee Volunteers on September 16 was nothing short of spectacular. His ten-yard run on his first carry and a critical fourth-down conversion near the game’s end led to the Gators’ go-ahead touchdown, showcasing his prowess and determination. Tebow’s most remarkable performance of the season came against the LSU Tigers on October 7, where he accounted for all three of the Gators’ touchdowns, passing for two and rushing for another.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This exceptional jersey, worn by Tebow, is a testament to his incredible season. It features the player number “15” prominently displayed on the front, back, and both shoulders in blue tackle twill with orange on white tackle twill embroidered borders. The player name “TEBOW” is emblazoned on the back in blue screen print block letters on a white nameplate, which has been restored. The jersey is crafted with spandex sides and elastic spandex hems on each sleeve, ensuring a perfect fit for the athlete.

• Size and Cut: The left front tail bears the size “42” tag, accompanied by an “S” flag tag indicating a skill cut.
• Embroidered Patches: The V-neck features the embroidered “SEC” patch, while the right breast displays an embroidered Nike swoosh. The left breast proudly bears the “100 Years Gators” embroidered patch.
• Condition: The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as bench worn and in our opinion, shows no use. Other than what is mentioned, there appear to be no further alterations of any kind.
