(Pristine Provenance)
Phil Simms’ Iconic Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Football Greatness
A Legendary Career with the New York Giants
Phil Simms, a name synonymous with excellence in the realm of football memorabilia, is celebrated for his remarkable achievements with the New York Giants. As a two-time Super Bowl Champion and the MVP of Super Bowl XXI, Simms set the record for the highest completion percentage in a Super Bowl, a testament to his precision and skill on the field. His illustrious career is immortalized by the retirement of his No. 11 jersey and his induction into the Giants’ Ring of Honor.
The Jersey: A Piece of Football History
This extraordinary jersey, once displayed in the prestigious New York Football Giants Legacy Club, is a symbol of Simms’ enduring legacy. The front left tail features a “CHAMPION PRODUCTS INC.” tag, indicating a size “M” and composed of “100% NYLON,” complete with washing instructions. A faded flag tag, though blank, accompanies it. The player number “11” is prominently painted in blue with red trim on the front, back, and sleeves, a vivid reminder of Simms’ commanding presence on the field.
- Signature and Inscription: Simms has personally signed the left “1” on the back of the jersey, adding the inscription “#11 SB XXI MVP.” The signature, though faded, is executed in black marker and is rated a 3 in our opinion.
- Player Name: The name “SIMMS” is painted in blue directly onto the white mesh jersey, further enhancing its authenticity.
- Provenance: This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) detailing its acquisition through a Morehead State University fundraising auction.
