Clinton Portis’ Game-Worn Washington Redskins Uniform: A Tribute to Sean Taylor

A Moment of Reverence in NFL History

On November 30th, 2008, the Washington Redskins paid homage to one of their own, Sean Taylor, by inducting him into their prestigious Ring of Fame. This solemn occasion was marked by an unforgettable moment when Clinton Portis, a key player for the Redskins, ran across the field during the pregame ceremony, proudly waving a No. 21 flag in honor of Taylor. This poignant tribute is forever etched in the hearts of football fans, symbolizing the deep respect and admiration for Taylor’s legacy.

The Uniform’s Distinctive Features

This remarkable uniform, worn by Clinton Portis, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the Washington Redskins. The jersey is adorned with intricate details that highlight its significance:

  • Memorial Patch: A No. 21 black memorial patch on the left chest, honoring Sean Taylor.
  • Player Number: The number “26” prominently displayed on the front, back, and sleeves in white on yellow tackle twill.
  • Team Branding: “REDSKINS” embroidered below the v-neck, with the official “NFL EQUIPMENT” shield logo on the v-neck.
  • Manufacturer’s Tags: Inside the waistline, a swatch with “08” and a “Reebok” manufacturer’s tag with the player number “26” written in pen.
