Amara Darboh’s Game-Worn Michigan Jersey and Helmet: A Testament to College Football Excellence
A Memorable Game-Worn Jersey
Step into the world of college football history with this exceptional piece of football memorabilia, worn by Amara Darboh during a pivotal game. This jersey has been photo-matched to November 21, 2015, when Michigan triumphed over Penn State with a score of 28-16. Darboh’s performance was nothing short of stellar, as he secured 7 receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown, making this jersey a cherished artifact of that victory.
The jersey features the Adidas manufacturer’s tag, size “40,” with an attached flag tag reading “4” L.B.” The left inseam bears a flag tag with jersey materials and washing instructions. The upper right chest proudly displays the Big Ten “B1G” logo, embroidered in navy blue and white, while beneath the v-neck lies the iconic “adidas” logo. The player number “82” is emblazoned across the front, back, and both shoulders, with the player name “DARBOH” on a white nameplate across the back, all crafted in navy blue tackle twill.
Helmet of Champions
This remarkable ensemble includes a Riddell manufactured helmet, photo-matched to the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl on January 1, 2016. In this game, Michigan dominated the Florida Gators with a resounding 41-7 victory. Darboh contributed with 2 catches for 24 yards, further cementing his legacy in Michigan football history.
The helmet is adorned with numerous stickers awarded for outstanding performances, including the Michigan “M” logo on the front bumper. Handwritten on the back bumper is “Chad Tough,” a tribute to Hall of Fame coach Lloyd Carr’s grandson Chad, who passed away from cancer during the season. The back of the helmet features three decals: the player number “82,” a “Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl” emblem, and a “WARNING” label. Inside the shell, various stickers, including “INITIAL SEASON 2012,” “Recertified,” “Riddell Large,” and player number “82,” attest to its authenticity and storied past.
