These jerseys are not just garments; they are symbols of the players’ prowess and the unforgettable moments they created on the field.
The Fernandez Jersey
The Fernandez jersey is a testament to the player’s enduring legacy with the Marlins. On the front left tail, it proudly displays the “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” manufacturer’s tag, indicating a size “50” and made of “100% POLYESTER.” The front of the jersey is adorned with “MARLINS” in teal on black on white tackle twill, a striking representation of the team’s colors. The player number “32” is prominently featured both on the front and back, crafted in black on white on teal tackle twill. The rear collar boasts the Russell “R” embroidered in teal and black, while the player name “FERNANDEZ” graces a white nameplate across the back.
Adding to its allure, Fernandez has signed the front of the jersey in black marker, accompanied by the inscription “32.” In our expert opinion, the signature rates a strong 7, enhancing the jersey’s value and appeal to collectors.
The Willis Jersey
The Willis jersey is equally captivating, with its “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, featuring wash instructions and two flag tags reading size “48” and “100% POLYESTER,” along with “2” EXTRA LENGTH.” The left chest is adorned with the Florida “Marlin” logo, embroidered in a dazzling combination of teal, white, and silver on silver sparkle on black sparkle on white tackle twill. The right sleeve proudly displays the “2003 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS” patch, a testament to the team’s triumph, embroidered in silver, teal, orange, black, and white on white tackle twill.
