Jerry Rice’s Iconic Game-Used Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

A Legendary Career

Jerry Rice, celebrated as the NFL’s greatest player of all time by NFL.com, stands as a monumental figure in the annals of football history. Elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, Rice’s illustrious career is adorned with remarkable achievements, including three Super Bowl championships. As the NFL’s all-time leader in receptions, yards, and touchdowns, Rice’s records in both regular and postseason play remain unparalleled.

The Jersey: A Piece of History

This extraordinary jersey, worn by Jerry Rice, is a rare and coveted piece of football memorabilia. The jersey is devoid of manufacturing tags due to a custom shortened tail, adding a unique touch to its provenance. Inside, below the rear collar, a white strip tag with “02-40” is printed in black, while the right inseam features a partially cut “100% NYLON” tag with washing instructions. The v-neck proudly displays the official “NFL EQUIPMENT” shield logo, embroidered with precision.

Distinctive Features

• Player Number: The iconic number “80” is emblazoned on the front, back, and both sleeves.
• Player Name: “RICE” is prominently displayed across the back on a black nameplate.
• Lettering and Numbering: All done in silver tackle twill, exuding elegance and authenticity.
• Reebok Logo: Embroidered above the player number on each sleeve, a mark of quality and style.

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to its allure, Jerry Rice has signed the back player number “0” in black pen, accompanied by the inscription “HOF 2010.” In our expert opinion, the signature rates a 7-8 overall, a testament to its clarity and significance. Below the signature, a JSA sticker, “Q56084,” further authenticates this remarkable piece.
