Garo Yepremian’s Super Bowl VII Jersey: A Piece of Football History

An Unforgettable Moment in NFL Lore

In the annals of NFL history, few moments are as memorable as Garo Yepremian’s infamous play during Super Bowl VII. As a celebrated kicker for the Miami Dolphins, Yepremian was a key figure in the team’s perfect season. However, it was his unexpected gaffe during this pivotal game that etched his name into the collective memory of football fans worldwide. When his 42-yard field goal attempt was blocked, Yepremian’s attempt to recover and throw the ball resulted in a touchdown for the Washington Redskins, courtesy of defender Mike Bass. Despite this mishap, the Dolphins triumphed with a 14-7 victory, securing their place in history.

The jersey features the Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag, size “MEDIUM 38-40,” with washing instructions, and the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Miami Dolphins” tag.
