A Testament to Football Excellence
Step into the world of football memorabilia with this extraordinary game-worn ensemble from December 26, 2010, when the New York Jets faced off against the Chicago Bears. This set, comprising a jersey, pants, helmet, and gloves, embodies the spirit and intensity of the game, capturing a moment in time that resonates with fans and collectors alike.
The Jersey: A Symbol of Athletic Prowess
The jersey, a masterpiece of design and functionality, is shortened and sans manufacturer’s tagging. On the inner collar, a strip tag with “10-42” signifies its authenticity. The player number “10” is emblazoned on the front and back in green tackle twill, while the sleeves feature the number in white tackle twill. The name “HOLMES” graces the back in green tackle twill on a white nameplate. Each sleeve is custom shortened, featuring an elastic spandex hem and the iconic “Reebok” logo patch. The V-neck is adorned with the “NFL Equipment” logo shield, and the left chest proudly displays the team patch.
The Pants: A Perfect Match
Complementing the jersey are the matching pants, which feature the “Reebok” tag with attached flag tags “30” and “Short” inside the front drawstrings. A strip tag with “09” is adjacent, adding to the ensemble’s authenticity. The front showcases the “NFL Equipment” logo shield and “Reebok” logo, along with numerous team repairs, indicating the pants’ storied past. Presented to us as game-used, these pants, in our opinion, show outstanding use.
The Helmet: A Shield of Honor
Accompanying the jersey and pants is a “Riddell” Jets helmet, complete with the player number “10” decal on the back, alongside the “NFL” and American Flag decals. Inside the dome, the “Property of NY Jets” label affirms its provenance. Presented to us as game-used, this helmet, in our opinion, shows appropriate use, making it a coveted piece for any sports memorabilia collector.
The Gloves: A Finishing Touch
Rounding out this remarkable collection are a pair of receiver gloves, manufactured by “Reebok” with the player number “10” inscribed inside in black marker. These gloves, showing good use, are a testament to the player’s skill and the game’s intensity.
