A Testament to Football Greatness

In the realm of football memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the sport’s rich history like a game-worn jersey from a Hall of Famer. This Green Bay Packers jersey, once donned by the legendary Willie Wood, is a remarkable artifact that embodies the spirit and legacy of the NFL.

Detailed Craftsmanship and Authenticity

The jersey features a “Sand Knit” distributor’s tag, proudly declaring it as “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Green Bay Packers.” Below this, a “Sand-Knit” size “44” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions is present, ensuring the garment’s authenticity. A handwarmer is attached to the lower front part of the jersey, a unique feature that adds to its historical value. Inside, below the rear collar, another size “44” tag is found, further confirming its provenance.

The player number “24” is prominently displayed on the front, back, and each sleeve, all painted in pristine white. Although the nameplate has been removed, the jersey’s identity is unmistakable. The front player number “4” bears the autograph of Willie Wood, signed in black pen, and in our opinion, it rates a 7 overall.
