Emmitt Smith’s Iconic Team-Issued Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

A Legacy of Excellence

Emmitt Smith, a name synonymous with football greatness, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010. As a three-time Super Bowl Champion, Smith’s illustrious career is marked by his unparalleled achievements on the field. Leading the NFL in rushing four times, he remains one of only two non-kickers to score over 1,000 career points. Smith’s legacy is further cemented by his NFL records for most rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, making him an enduring icon in the world of football memorabilia.

The Jersey’s Distinctive Features

This remarkable jersey, presented to us as team-issued, is a testament to Smith’s storied career. On the front left tail, a “Nike” manufacturer’s tag is prominently displayed, accompanied by a size “L” flag tag. The right inseam features a tag with washing instructions, ensuring the garment’s preservation. Inside the rear collar, a strip tag reads “97-48,” denoting its authenticity and connection to Smith’s era.

The v-neck is adorned with an official “NFL” shield logo, embroidered with precision. Below, “COWBOYS” is elegantly stitched in blue, outlined in white and grey, reflecting the team’s iconic colors. The player number “22” graces the front, back, and both shoulders, while “E. SMITH” is emblazoned across the back on a white nameplate. All numbering and lettering are painted in blue, adding to the jersey’s striking visual appeal.

A Signature of Authenticity

Adding to the jersey’s allure, Emmitt Smith himself signed the back left player number “2” in black marker. In our expert opinion, this signature rates a 7, enhancing the jersey’s value and desirability among collectors. The jersey is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA, further attesting to its significance.
