Hey Guys,
I have a quick question for those who might be more familiar with Bengals Game-Worn items then I am.
I'm seriously looking to aquire a Carson Palmer Game jersey from his Rookie season in 2003. The collector I'm in talks with is very trustworthy and very good to talk to.
Check out the scans here...

And here is a pick of Palmer from the 2003 Pre-Season...

The neck-tag reads "03-48" and as far as I've seen, that is consistant with what few other Palmer gamers I have found.
I also read in a prior post that most Palmer Post-2004 jerseys are shortened and hemmed. Does that mean that it would be normal for a 2003 jersey to have the extra legth?
Judging by every USC Palmer jersey I have seen, none of them are shortened and all have the extra length as well which would make it understandable if he continued that preference into his rookie year.
The sleeves look dead-on to me, so does the style of the jersey, name-plate, etc. My only question was regarding the length because I could not find any other Palmer Rookie jerseys to compare it to.
I am aware that Palmer did not take a single snap during the 2003 Season. He played in a few Pre-Season games before being stuck on the sideline all season long, sometimes even as the 3rd srting.
It also accured to me that if he was 3rd on the depth chart, it might have been more comfortable for him to have a jersey he could un-tuck while standing around.
So what do you guys think?
