Steve Young’s 1996 Game-Issued Jersey: A Tribute to a Football Legend

A Hall of Fame Legacy

Steve Young, a name synonymous with excellence in the realm of football memorabilia, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005. His illustrious career is marked by three Super Bowl championships, a Super Bowl MVP title, and two regular season MVP awards. Young’s prowess on the field is further underscored by his record of six passing titles, a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication. The San Francisco 49ers have immortalized his contributions by retiring his No. 8 jersey, a symbol of his enduring legacy.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This remarkable jersey, presented to us as game-issued, is a piece of history from the 1996 season. The left front tail proudly displays the “Reebok” manufacturer’s tag with the year “1996” clearly marked. Inside the rear collar, a second “Reebok” tag provides wash instructions and indicates the jersey size as “L,” accompanied by a flag tag reading “100% NYLON.”

• Player Number: The iconic number “8” is prominently featured on the front, back, and both shoulders.
• Player Name: “YOUNG” is emblazoned on the back on a red nameplate, crafted in white on gold on black triple tackle twill.
• Team and League Logos: Each sleeve bears the Reebok embroidered logo and the team “SF” heat transferred onto the shirt, while the V-neck showcases the official “NFL” logo shield.
• Commemorative Patch: The upper left chest is adorned with the team’s “SF 1946-1996 50” embroidered anniversary patch.

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to the jersey’s allure is Steve Young’s signature, elegantly inscribed on the back in black marker. In our expert opinion, the signature rates an 8, reflecting its clarity and preservation.
