1994 Dan Marino Miami Dolphins Game-Used Jersey
(Gifted From Marino To Neil O'Donnell • Customized Throwing Arm)
Dan Marino’s Iconic 1994 Miami Dolphins Jersey
A Legendary Quarterback
In the annals of NFL history, few quarterbacks have left as indelible a mark as Dan Marino. Renowned for his exceptional passing ability, Marino led the league in passing yards five times and was crowned the NFL MVP. His prowess on the field is immortalized by the Miami Dolphins, who retired his iconic No. 13 jersey. This jersey, a testament to Marino’s illustrious career, is a cherished piece of football memorabilia that captures the essence of his legacy.
Detailed Craftsmanship
The jersey is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. Inside the collar, the “Wilson” manufacturer’s size 50 tag is prominently displayed, accompanied by the “94” embroidered year tag. The player number “13” is emblazoned on the front, back, and both sleeves, while the player name “MARINO” graces a white nameplate across the back. The numbering and lettering are executed in teal on orange tackle twill, creating a striking visual contrast. Adding to its historical significance, the “NFL 75th Anniversary” patch adorns the upper left chest, marking a milestone in the league’s storied history.
Unique Provenance and Condition
This jersey’s journey is as remarkable as its wearer. Originally gifted by Marino to fellow NFL quarterback Neil O’Donnell, it was later passed on to a golfing acquaintance at the Spring Hill Golf Club in New Jersey. The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows excellent use. The visible staining, hit marks on the shoulders, and yellowing of the collar all attest to its authenticity and the fierce battles Marino faced on the gridiron.
