A Legendary Career’s Last Chapter
In the annals of NFL history, few names resonate as profoundly as Brett Favre. The 2007 season was a testament to his enduring prowess, as he led the Green Bay Packers to a remarkable 13-3 regular season record. However, the journey ended in a heart-wrenching overtime loss to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship Game. This game marked Favre’s final appearance in the iconic green and gold uniform, a moment etched in the memories of football fans worldwide.
The Jersey’s Unique Features
This jersey, worn by Favre during that fateful game, is a piece of football memorabilia that captures the essence of his illustrious career. The inside of the jersey features a strip tag with “07-52” printed on it, signifying its authenticity. The v-neck proudly displays the official “NFL EQUIPMENT” shield logo, while the left chest bears an embroidered patch commemorating “1957-2007 50 Years LAMBEAU FIELD.” On the right chest, the Captain’s “C” patch is prominently embroidered, underscoring Favre’s leadership on the field.
- Player Number: The number “4” is emblazoned on the front, back, and each shoulder, crafted in white tackle twill.
- Player Name: “FAVRE” is elegantly displayed on a green nameplate across the back.
- Reebok Logo: Below the player number on each shoulder, the Reebok logo is meticulously embroidered.
Game-Worn Characteristics
The jersey bears the marks of intense gameplay, with a noticeable stain on the front player number and below it. These stains, absorbed into the twill fabric, tell a story of the fierce competition on the field. Hit marks and grass stains adorn the back player number, further attesting to its game-worn status. Favre himself signed the back player number in black pen, adding the inscription, “Game Used 1/20/08 NFC Championship,” a testament to its authenticity and significance.
