Andy Dalton’s Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of NFL History

A Memorable Game in the 2013 NFL Playoffs

On January 5, 2013, Andy Dalton, the celebrated TCU alumni and Texas native, returned to his hometown to face the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium during the wild card round of the 2013 NFL Playoffs. This game was not just another match for Dalton; it was a homecoming to a stadium where he had previously triumphed in three games during his high school and college career as a TCU Horned Frog. Despite the Cincinnati Bengals’ valiant effort, they fell short against J.J. Watt and the formidable Texans defense.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This particular jersey, worn by Dalton during that significant playoff game, is a testament to his leadership and skill. The shirt is adorned with the player number “14” in vibrant orange on black tackle twill on the front and back, and in white on black tackle twill on both shoulders. The player name “DALTON” is prominently displayed across the back in white on black tackle twill on an orange nameplate. The custom sleeves feature an elastic spandex hem, each proudly displaying the Nike swoosh. At the V-neck, the “NFL Equipment” rubberized logo shield is accompanied by the team “B” logo, while the right chest bears the Captain’s “C” with one star embroidered in gold.

• Manufacturer’s Tag: Inside the rear collar is the “Nike” manufacturer’s tag with “44 On Field Skill” and an attached flag tag with “2012”.
• Bengals Pro Shop Tag: Above the manufacturer’s tag is the “Bengals Pro Shop” attached tag.
• Game-Worn Authenticity: The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, shows outstanding use.
