I first saw this jersey and I thought, wow! I bid immediately without doing my homework, after all it comes from Mark Malone’s daughter!
Since I bid, here are the issues I have found with this jersey and emailed the seller sharing my thoughts.
1.) The design of this jersey was worn by the Steelers until the mid-1970's (the shoulder seams go into the neck).
2.) If you look carefully, the jersey was long sleeved and made into a short sleeve (elbow pad remnants can be seen into the sleeve striping)...
3.) The tail tags are from the early to mid 1970's...
Is it possibly that Mark Malone was playing for the Steelers in the early 1980's and was wearing a jersey that was manufactured 5+ years before he began playing and was initially a long sleeved jersey and was NOT the current style/design the Steelers were wearing in the early 1980's?
Is it possible; yes....is it probable; no….
