Jerry Rice’s Game-Used Jersey: A Testament to NFL Greatness

An Iconic Piece of Football History

Jerry Rice, celebrated as the NFL’s No. 1 player of all time by NFL.com, is a name synonymous with excellence and unparalleled achievement in the world of football. Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, Rice’s legacy is cemented by his three Super Bowl victories and his status as the NFL’s all-time leader in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. His records in both the regular and postseason for wide receivers remain unmatched, making any memorabilia associated with him highly coveted.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This extraordinary jersey, presented to us as game-used, is a remarkable artifact from Rice’s illustrious career. The jersey is sans manufacturing tagging due to a custom shortened tail, a testament to its authenticity and uniqueness. Inside, below the rear collar, a white strip tag with “02-40” is printed in black, while the right inseam bears a partially cut “100% NYLON” tag with washing instructions. The official “NFL EQUIPMENT” shield logo is embroidered on the v-neck, adding to its authenticity.

• Player Number: The iconic number “80” is prominently displayed on the front, back, and both sleeves.
• Player Name: “RICE” is emblazoned across the back on a black nameplate, all in silver tackle twill.
• Branding: A Reebok logo is embroidered above the player number on each sleeve.

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to the jersey’s allure, Jerry Rice has signed the back player number “0” in black pen, with the inscription “HOF 2010,” a nod to his Hall of Fame induction. In our opinion, the signature rates a 7-8 overall, further enhancing the jersey’s value and appeal. The presence of a JSA sticker, “Q56084,” provides an additional layer of authenticity.

Condition and Provenance

While limited period imagery prevented an exact photo-match, the jersey was presented to us as game-used and, in our opinion, shows excellent use, including a small repair to the right shoulder area. This piece is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from JSA, along with two additional LOAs, ensuring its provenance and significance.

For those passionate about football memorabilia, this jersey represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of NFL history. Jerry Rice’s achievements on the field are legendary, and this jersey is a tangible connection to his storied career. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a fan of the game, this jersey is a must-have addition to any sports memorabilia collection.
