Early 1980s Jack Youngblood Los Angeles Rams Game-Used Road Jersey

Jack Youngblood’s Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to NFL Greatness

A Legendary Career

Jack Youngblood, a name synonymous with resilience and excellence, stands as one of the most revered figures in NFL history. A two-time NFC Defensive Player of the Year and a five-time First-Team All-Pro, Youngblood’s legacy is etched in the annals of football. His contributions to the sport earned him a place on the NFL 1970s All-Decade Team, and his No. 85 jersey was retired by the St. Louis Rams. In 2001, he was rightfully inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, cementing his status as a football icon.

The Jersey: A Piece of History

This remarkable jersey, tailored exclusively for the Los Angeles Rams, is a testament to Youngblood’s illustrious career. On the front left tail, the “Sand Knit” distributor’s tag proudly reads, “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the LOS ANGELES RAMS,” accompanied by a “Sand-Knit” size “54” manufacturer’s tag. The right inseam features a “100% NYLON” tag with washing instructions, alongside a care instructions tag. The player number “85” is emblazoned on the front, sleeves, and back in vibrant yellow vinyl lettering, while the name “JACK YOUNGBLOOD” is displayed in white vinyl on a blue mesh nameplate.

Signature and Provenance

Adding to the jersey’s allure is Youngblood’s signature on the back player number “8,” inscribed with “God Bless” in black pen. According to JSA, this signature is clubhouse. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows little-to-no wear.
