Iconic Game-Worn Jerseys: Mark Duper and Rick Graf

A Glimpse into NFL History

In the realm of football memorabilia, few items capture the imagination quite like game-worn jerseys. These garments are not merely pieces of fabric; they are tangible connections to the gridiron, embodying the sweat, strategy, and spirit of the game. Among the illustrious artifacts in our collection are the jerseys of Mark Duper and Rick Graf, each telling its own unique story.

Mark Duper’s Jersey: A Custom Fit for a Legend

The Mark Duper jersey is a testament to the player’s unique specifications and style. The front tail has been cut short, tailored to Duper’s precise requirements, and bears no manufacturer’s tags. This customization speaks to the personal preferences of a player who left an indelible mark on the field. The jersey features the player number “85” emblazoned in aqua on orange vinyl lettering across the front, back, and sleeves. The name “DUPER” is proudly displayed in aqua tackle twill on a white nameplate, a signature of his presence on the field.

Rick Graf’s Jersey: A Classic Representation

In contrast, the Rick Graf jersey retains its original “Russell” manufacturer’s size 48 tag, complete with wash instructions and a “100% Nylon” flag tag. This jersey is adorned with the player number “58” in white on orange screen print, prominently featured on the front, back, and sleeves. The name “GRAF” is elegantly displayed in white screen print on an aqua nameplate. The jersey’s aqua spandex sides and custom elastic sleeves highlight the era’s design and functionality. Notably, it bears a CH autograph on the back number, adding a layer of personal connection to this remarkable piece.
