Atlanta Falcons - 1991 #21 (Dieon?) Jersey HELP

[cjw]

Looking for Falcons collectors to help identify if this is a practice worn jersey or possibly a gamer? Wilson Prestige Teams tagging, with size 44 "EP" flag tagging. From info on the forum, this denotes the jersey as having been manufactured in Feb of 1992, I believe? This jersey seems to match getty photos of Dieon Sanders in game action from 1992, but there is no name on back or any evidence of a name plate or individual letters having been removed. It has spandex side panels and the screening shows wear. Thanks!

Chris,

The Falcons never wore Wilson during Deion's years with Atlanta or in the years they wore the particular style pictured. During Deion's tenure from 1989 through 1993, the Falcons wore Russell except for the 1990 preseason and the 1991 regular season when they wore Champion. Note that the Falcons switched from red home jerseys to black in 1990, Deion's second season with the team.

I was thrown off by the getty 1992 pics of Primetime...althought the best closeups are showing white jerseys, the styles are exact (can't see the manufactures logo though) chris
