Brett Favre’s Final Game Jersey: A Piece of NFL History
A Legendary Quarterback’s Last Hurrah
Brett Favre, a name synonymous with grit and determination, stands as one of the most revered quarterbacks in the annals of NFL history. With a career that boasts a Super Bowl victory and three AP NFL MVP awards, Favre’s legacy is etched in the hearts of football fans worldwide. His inclusion in the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team and the numerous records he held at retirement, such as most career passing yards and most career pass completions, underscore his unparalleled contributions to the sport.
The Game-Worn Jersey from December 30, 2007
On December 30, 2007, Favre graced the field at Lambeau for what would be his final game in front of a home crowd. Facing the Detroit Lions, Favre delivered a stellar performance, completing 9 of 11 passes for 99 yards and two touchdowns, before being rested for the postseason. The Packers triumphed with a decisive 34-13 victory.
- Unique Features: The jersey is devoid of manufacturing tags due to a custom elastic tail, with a white strip tag reading “07-52” below the inner rear collar.
- Iconic Details: It features the official “NFL” logo on the v-neck and a “1957-2007 50 Years LAMBEAU FIELD” patch on the left chest.
- Player Identification: The number “4” is emblazoned across the front, back, and sleeves, with “FAVRE” on a dark green nameplate, all in white tackle twill.
- Branding: The Reebok logo is embroidered on each sleeve.
A Signature of Authenticity
Adding to its allure, Favre has signed the “4” on the back of the jersey, inscribing “4” and “Game Used 12/30/07 – Detroit 13 Pack 34.” The signature, in our opinion, rates a strong 8. This jersey, presented to us as game-used, shows excellent use and is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA, Brett Favre, and noted Packer authority Guy Hankel, affirming its use in the first half of the game. Additionally, it comes with a photo of Favre holding the jersey and a DVD of the game.
