Circa 1962 Y.A. Tittle New York Giants Game-Used Jersey

Y.A. Tittle’s Legendary 1963 New York Giants Jersey

A Testament to Football Greatness

Y.A. Tittle, an iconic figure in the annals of American football, spent a remarkable 17-year career that left an indelible mark on the sport. His journey through the NFL began with the San Francisco 49ers, where he played for a decade before being traded to the New York Giants in 1960. It was with the Giants that Tittle truly cemented his legacy, particularly during the 1963 season when he set an NFL record by throwing 36 touchdown passes.

Throughout his illustrious career, Tittle amassed an impressive 33,070 passing yards and 242 touchdowns, earning the NFL Most Valuable Player Award twice. His contributions to the game were recognized with his enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971, a testament to his enduring impact on the sport.

The Jersey: A Piece of Football History

This extraordinary jersey, worn by Y.A. Tittle during his time with the New York Giants, is a rare and valuable piece of football memorabilia. The jersey features the player number “14” prominently displayed in red tackle twill across the front, back, and sleeves. The shoulder yoke configuration is unique for its era, with the player numbers on the shoulders sitting on the seam, a detail confirmed through period imagery.

The jersey is properly tagged with the Wilson manufacturer’s tag, size “48”, and the crotch piece remains intact. Presented to us as game-used, this jersey shows outstanding use with football-related staining throughout, adding to its authenticity and allure. Accompanied by a Photo-Match.com Letter of Authenticity, the jersey has been graded a perfect 10, underscoring its exceptional condition and significance.
