A customer of mine offered me this Reggie White Game Jersey. It appears to be a 1993 Jersey(Reggie's first year with the Packers). I think this because of the printed name, and numbers. (Packers switched to sewn on in 1994). The jersey is proper cut, and actually has a laundry tag with his name attached to it. However I have found 2 flaws with it. First, there is no Packers 75 year patch that they wore in 1993, second the font of the #2 is wrong.
The only thing that makes me believe that this is a legit jersey is that it originated from Ron Wolf, who was the Packers GM at that time. What I am now thinking, is that this was a practice worn jersey, rather than a Game Worn jersey. This would explain the jersey having no 75 year patch. Does anyone know if the Packers may have used a different font on there practice jerseys, then their Game Jerseys? I cannot find any 1993 practice photos of Reggie to compare this to.This would explain this jersey for me. If anyone can help by looking at these pictures please let me know
