12/30/1961 Roman Gabriel North Carolina State Wolfpack East-West Shrine Game-Used & Twice Autographed Durene Jersey

Roman Gabriel’s Iconic North Carolina State Wolfpack Jersey

A Legendary College Career

Roman Gabriel, a name synonymous with excellence in college football, left an indelible mark on the sport during his tenure with the North Carolina State Wolfpack. As a two-time ACC Player of the Year and an All-American in 1960 and 1961, Gabriel’s prowess on the field was unmatched. His contributions to the team were so significant that his No. 18 jersey was retired by North Carolina State, and he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989.

The Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

This remarkable jersey, a size “46” crafted by Wilson, is a vivid representation of Gabriel’s storied career. The jersey features a “LONG” flag tag sewn beneath the size, and the PSA/DNA sticker “H76931” on the right inseam further authenticates its significance. The player number “18” is prominently displayed on both the front and back in white tackle twill, sewn directly onto the red durene fabric, symbolizing Gabriel’s enduring legacy.

Autographed and Inscribed

Adding to its allure, Roman Gabriel personally signed the jersey on both the front and back player number “8,” with the back inscription proudly declaring, “GO WOLFPACK.” These autographs, in our opinion, rate a 7 overall, enhancing the jersey’s value and appeal to collectors and fans alike.
