An Iconic Piece of Football History

Step into the world of football memorabilia with this extraordinary jersey worn by Hall of Famer Bob Lilly during Super Bowl V. Known for his remarkable durability and skill, Lilly was an 11-time Pro Bowler and a 7-time All-Pro, playing in an impressive 196 consecutive regular-season games. This jersey is a relic from the Dallas Cowboys’ clash against the Baltimore Colts on January 17th, 1971, where Lilly recorded four tackles, further cementing his legacy as one of the game’s greats.

Details of the Jersey

The jersey is a testament to the craftsmanship and history of the era. Inside, beneath the collar, lies the Southland manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a flag tag reading “SIZE 52XXL.” On the reverse side of this tag, a Tri-Star hologram with serial number “7839165” is present, ensuring its authenticity. The jersey bears the scars of battle, with repairs visible on both shoulder areas and the back, and paint transfers on the upper left chest.

• Player Number: The iconic number “74” is emblazoned across the front, back, and both sleeves.
• Player Name: “LILLY” is proudly displayed on a blue nameplate across the back.
• Material: All numbering and lettering are crafted in white tackle twill.

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to its allure, Bob Lilly has signed the jersey inside the right collar area in silver marker, with the inscription “HOF 80.” This signature, in our opinion, rates a 9, making it a prized possession for any collector.
