    A nice game-issued jersey or pre-season game used as Rocket was injured in the 2002 preseason and missed the entire regular season.

      Good point! Thanks for mentioning that.
      How about the cut tail? Seems the team would have hemmed it.

        dcgreg25 is right. Ismail sustained a career ending neck injury when he collided with a linebacker during practice on the 19th of August 2002. This means Ismail could have only played in 2 preseason games in 2002 before the injury. I cannot find any photos or stats for Ismail in these 2 games, but his name was mentioned in a game recap of the 2nd game (against Carolina) as being only one of a handfull of starters playing due to injurys.

        With this in mind, I would imagine the jersey would show very little wear if it was actually worn by Ismail, what with it being preseason and Ismail being a receiver. So it will be even harder to tell if it is game used or issued. A different story if was used in one of more regular season games.

        The cut off section is a bit strange. Perhaps for some reason Ismail only had a full length jersey issued to him for the Carolina game and he or the equipment manager cut off the mass of extra length at the last minute before he suited up?

            Hookemhorns26 email me if you would ever consider selling one of your Rocket jerseys. A Rocket jersey is a grail item for me and I would pay aggressively to acquire an authentic one. Thanks.
