Derrick Brooks’ Iconic Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

A Legendary Career

Derrick Brooks, an esteemed figure in the realm of American football, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014. His illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including being a Super Bowl champion and a member of the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team. Brooks’ legacy with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is immortalized with the retirement of his No. 55 jersey, a testament to his impact on the franchise. In 2002, he was honored with the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, further solidifying his status as one of the game’s greats.

The Jersey: A Piece of Football History

This remarkable jersey, worn by Derrick Brooks, is a symbol of his extraordinary career. On the inside below the rear collar, a strip tag with “02-42” is printed, indicating its authenticity. The v-neck proudly displays the official “NFL EQUIPMENT” shield logo, embroidered with precision. Below this, “BUCCANEERS” is stitched in black on white, a nod to the team Brooks led with distinction.

• Player Number: The iconic number “55” is prominently featured on the front, back, and each shoulder, rendered in red on orange on black triple tackle twill.
• Player Name: Across the back, “BROOKS” is displayed in red tackle twill on a white nameplate, a hallmark of his identity on the field.
• Team and Brand Logos: Below the player number on each shoulder, a Reebok logo and a team logo patch are embroidered, adding to the jersey’s authenticity.

Condition and Provenance

The jersey bears the marks of intense gameplay, with repairs visible below each player number on the shoulder. The tail has been custom cut and hemmed, with the manufacturer’s tag on the rear tail indicating a custom size “38,” written in black marker.
