12/30/1961 Roman Gabriel North Carolina State Wolfpack East-West Shrine Game-Used & Dual-Autographed Durene Jersey

Roman Gabriel’s Iconic North Carolina State Jersey: A Piece of Football History

A Legendary College Career

Roman Gabriel, a name synonymous with excellence in college football, left an indelible mark on the sport during his time with the North Carolina State Wolfpack. As a two-time ACC Player of the Year and an All-American in 1960 and 1961, Gabriel’s prowess on the field was unparalleled. His contributions to the game were so significant that North Carolina State retired his No. 18 jersey, and he was rightfully inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989.

The Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

This remarkable jersey, a size “46” Wilson creation, is a vivid reminder of Gabriel’s storied career. The jersey is adorned with the player number “18” on both the front and back, crafted in white tackle twill and sewn directly onto the vibrant red durene fabric. The attention to detail is evident, with the “LONG” designation below the size, ensuring a perfect fit for the towering quarterback.

Adding to its allure, Gabriel has personally signed the jersey on both the front and back player number “8,” with the back inscription proudly declaring, “GO WOLFPACK.” These autographs, in our opinion, rate a 7 overall, further enhancing the jersey’s value and appeal.
