Jerry Rice’s Iconic Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

The Legacy of Jerry Rice

In the pantheon of football legends, few names resonate as profoundly as Jerry Rice. Elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, Rice’s illustrious career is a tapestry of unparalleled achievements. Rated as the NFL’s No. 1 player of all-time by NFL.com, Rice’s legacy is cemented by his three Super Bowl championships and his status as the NFL’s all-time leader in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. His dominance is reflected in his command over nearly every major statistical category for wide receivers, both in the regular season and postseason.

The Jersey: A Piece of History

This remarkable jersey, worn by Rice, is a symbol of his extraordinary career. On the front left tail, it features a “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions, accompanied by a size “46 GZ” flag tag. The v-neck proudly displays an official “NFL” shield logo, while the left chest is adorned with an “NFL 75” year anniversary patch. The player number “80” is emblazoned on the front, back, and both sleeves, with the name “RICE” elegantly displayed across the back on a red mesh nameplate. All numbering and lettering are crafted in white tackle twill.

Signature and Authenticity

Adding to its allure, Rice has signed the back of the jersey in black marker, with the signature rating a strong 8 in our opinion. Although we have been unable to match the placement of the 75th patch on the jersey, it is possible that it was worn prior to the patch being added. Non-football related wear is present on the shoulders, further enhancing its narrative. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by an ALOA from JSA, underscoring its significance.
