View Full Version : 2007 game used Packers Jersey w/o patch?

I recently picked up number of Green Bay Packers player jerseys directly from the Packers. I have no doubt whatsoever they are legit and 100% player issued and/or game used jerseys. I do have some questions I am trying to get my head around though.

A few of the jerseys I got are from 2007, and one in particular is a home game jersey (not a practice jersey) and it shows clear signs of repairs and damage. Question is it doesn't have the 50th Anniversary Lambeau Field patch that apparently all home game jerseys displayed in 2007. This leads to me think a few things. Either the jersey was used very early in the season or before they wore the patches (pre season maybe?), the patch was removed after the game for some reason or at some point down the road (doesn't seem to show signs of stitch removal though), or the player opted out of wearing it for whatever reason.

Can any Packer jersey experts here share their thoughts with me on this one?

If your jerseys are tagged 2007, they could have been worn the following season or seasons. Just my thoughts!

Happy collecting!

That's an interesting idea I hadn't thought of. I wonder if anyone knows for sure if there are examples of players wearing a previous years jersey in a later year.

Another suggestion I have to look into is that in 2007 the Packers may have not worn the patch in the playoffs suggesting a legit game worn home jersey worn in 2007 may have been game used from the playoffs. An interesting possibility!

It is common for certain NFL teams to use a jersey from the previous season. I own a 2005 tagged jersey worn in 2008. Plus i own several game worn jerseys that where worn a year after the tag dates like a 2007 worn in 2008.

If you are buying directly from the team i would not worry. Patch was probably removed and jersey was used in 2008. What i would do would be to check photos from the 2008 season of that player and see if you can match up some of the repairs/damage.

Can you post some pics of it. A lot of Packer fans here and could probably phototmatch/video match it to repairs.

I'd be happy to post pics!!

Previously I had one jersey total, a verified photo matched Packers home jersey for 42 Morgan Brunett from the Vikings game in 2011. Purchased direct from Packers and came with Packers COA making it a stunning piece.

I just picked up 17 more Packer player jerseys in one large purchase all from the team direct. Various years from 2001 do 2010 and most with game repairs and damage, some extensive, and many with a lot of player customizations. Some big names like Finley, Woodson, Williams, Crosby, Raji, and many others.

Anyway I'd be happy to post pics of this jersey in question and see where things go! I will try and post pics tomorrow.

Just wanted to follow up on some things I've learned since my post yesterday.

For starters it appears the Packers did where the 50th Anniversary patch on their home uniforms pre-season. Guess that rules that one out. Secondly, it also appears they wore the patch in the playoff games, or at least the few players I've been able to see in watching video of their playoff game against the Seahawks.

I've been closing studying the three Packer home jerseys I have from 2007 that didn't have the patch, and one I've found CLEARLY has stitch removal marks where the patch was. Bingo, a 2007 player jersey with light use and clear signs of a 50th anniversary patch gives it pretty clear indication it is a game used jersey! Another may have stitch removal marks but I need to study it closer, while the third appears to be spotless in the left shoulder area where the patch would be though it has clear use and team repairs. Leaning heavily towards assuming it was used sometime after the 2007 season but still need to figure that one out.

Will try and post some pics today!

Here are pics of two of the 2007 Jerseys, Crosby and Dietrich-Smith. Crosby has minor evidence of use but clear indications the 50th patch was removed (see third pic below, hard to see in pic but you can note the outline of the stitching from the patch). Dietrich-Smith has much more clear signs of use but no clear sign there was ever a patch at all.

I was told that all the jerseys were $50. Is that what the Crosby was? If so, that's a steal.

There were two sections, older players and current roster players but most people didn't know about the second area. Prior players were indeed $50 across the board. Current players were more than $50.

When the Packers tent sale started they actually had game-worn side line capes from the 1950's and 1960's for sale, as well as lots of other amazing items. I talked to a friend who went Saturday and said it was quite dissapointing from what it once was. Ahh. The good old days.

Yeah no 1960s era stuff! I heard someone else suggest the sale wasn't that good. They must collect very specific stuff or be really jaded. There were over 400 game used and team issued player jerseys for sale including current roster and old players. From what I understand that hasn't happened in sometime. Add the 45 stadium seats they pulled from Lambeau Field and sold and I'd say it was a pretty epic event. Admittedly I'm new and my collection is growing but anytime you can find a game used Raji, Woodson, Crosby, Bishop, Finley, Williams, Hawk, etc jerseys for less than the cost of fan jerseys I'd say it was a GOOD event!

Makes me wonder why the Packers would sell current game worn jerseys for so cheap at the tent sale considering the apparent success they had selling them on their team website a couple of years ago. Great deal/steal for Pack fans like Jason for sure!

For you Packer freaks I ordered a few Aaron Rodger Nike game issued jerseys with my new connection. I will post them when the 2013 shipment arrives.

I got a direct contract with Nike for issued NFL jerseys and was looking for a heap of teams and popular players to order, and figured A Rodgers would be nice for you Packer freaks!

Any other star Packers that you guys would like? Stars only please don't request commons lol I doubt Nike would bother.

Not to be rude but what does that have to do with this thread? And why would folks want jerseys from Nike in a thread about team issued and player worn jerseys?

Jpipes - I agree, teams absolutely 'recycle' their jerseys from one game and season to the next. Players customize the heck out of jerseys. There's a wide perception among fans that players receive and wear new jersey's from one game to the next. Based on your recent pick ups it's apparent (especially with the Crosby 2) that they remove seasonal patches and reuse for additional games or seasons.

Wouldn't it be neat to track down and locate an original, team-issued "Lambeau 50th Anniversary" patch? Amazing!

****As a side note, I wanted to introduce myself to the forum as well. Lifelong Packer die hard and shareholder. :) Currently living in Northern California but originally from Wisconsin. Have been collecting autographs and have now started my addiction of game used items, specifically jerseys and hopefully helmets!
