Need Help with vick jersey

[respo]

Hey guys, need help with this Vick jersey I just picked up for dirt cheap. The seller had no additional info on it, although it does have a little bit of an odor to it. It is clearly a pro cut style jersey, with sewn on numbers, but iron on name on the sewn on nameplate. Is it possible this was used by mike when he was first sponsored by nike years before the dog fighting came about? Possibly for commercials and photo shoots? I found this video where he looks like hes wearing the exact same jersey only in green. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjN6egE8q58
let me know what you guys think

Sorry, but it's neither a gamer nor a draft day jersey. The Falcons were still wearing black home jerseys in 2001, and that was the year they commenced wearing Reebok uniforms, as did most NFL teams (a few still wore Adidas). Nike was out of the NFL game uniform picture in 2001. Also, Getty has a picture of his draft day jersey, and it's a collar-tagged black Reebok #1 (not #7) shirt.

oh, no I know its not a falcons jersey, or a game worn jersey. Im thinking along the lines of a jersey he wore for advertising nike. Because players are usually not permitted to wear their NFL jerseys in commercials, or shoots, especially when reebook makes them lol. Whenever you see players on commercials they are wearing "team colored jerseys" with their name and number on them. Not official NFL jerseys. thats what I am thinking this vick may be..
