Hello everyone,
I recently picked up this jersey, with Sand-Knit tagging that dates to the mid to late 1970s... I am wondering exactly what I have here. The player who wore the number "50" for the Rams during this time was linebacker Kevin McLain -- certainly not a star in the NFL, but of interest to me because he later played linebacker for the Houston Gamblers, as well as being their special teams coach for a season.
The shirt does not have an exclusive team tag. It does, however, have a numeric size 46 Sand-Knit tag that was heat-pressed onto the outside left tail. The number 50 has been heat-pressed onto the front, back and shoulders with what appears to be the correct font. The shoulders are double-layered. The bases of the blue ram horns on the shoulders have been sewn into the shirt, while the skinnier tips are sewn onto the jersey body (these horns are each two separate pieces of fabric).
No nameplate has been sewn onto the back, and the jersey shows no use whatsoever. The size 46 is appropriate for McLain.
What the heck do I have here?
Thanks for your help! -- Anthony
