Devin Gardner’s Michigan Jersey: A Symbol of Legacy and Passion

A Unique Piece of Football History

In the realm of football memorabilia, few items capture the spirit and history of the game like Devin Gardner’s Michigan jersey. This exceptional piece is not just a garment but a testament to the rich tradition of Michigan football and the legacy of Tom Harmon, a Michigan legend from 1938 to 1940.

Detailed Craftsmanship and Iconic Design

The jersey is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. Below the rear collar, the Adidas manufacturer’s tag, size “42,” is prominently displayed, accompanied by a flag tag reading “4” L.B.” On the left inseam, a “100% POLYESTER” flag tag with washing instructions ensures the garment’s durability. The upper left chest proudly bears the “BUFFALO WILD WINGS BOWL” patch, while just below, the “TOM HARMON MICHIGAN LEGEND 1938-1940” patch pays homage to a storied past.

On the upper right chest, the Big 10 “B1G” patch is embroidered in white and blue, a nod to the competitive spirit of the conference. Below the v-neck, the “adidas” logo is embroidered in blue, adding a touch of modernity to this classic piece. The player number “98” is emblazoned on the front, back, and both shoulders, while the player name “GARDNER” is displayed across the back on a white nameplate, all in blue on maize tackle twill.
