Does anyone know who manufactured Alabama Football Jerseys in the late 1980s? When did they change to Nike? I recently purchased a Jersey from the late 1980s and its a Russell? Are there any things I should look fro when attempting to authenticating it?

Re: Alabama Jersey Manufacturer
The Crimson Tide wore Russell through 1994 before switching to Nike in 1995. The 1980s/early '90s Russell jerseys should have screened-on numbers on the front and back only. They stopped putting numbers on the sleeves in the early 1970s. They had name plates added around 1982, took them off again for a couple of years, and then appears to have added them for good around 1987. However, I would need to do some research to confirm the name plate info.
Hope this helps!

Always begging for WFL uniforms, NFL/AFL durene jerseys, and any jerseys of Alfred Jenkins (Falcons or Birmingham WFL) or Gerard Williams ('Skins, 49ers, Cardinals or Birmingham WFL). -
Re: Alabama Jersey Manufacturer
Thanks. It is from 1987 to 1990. It has the name and doesn't have numbers on the sleeves. I am all but positive it is real. I just don't know if it was worn in a game. If I could determine the year I would have a better idea if it was game used or just issued.Comment

Re: Alabama Jersey Manufacturer
Does the jerseys show any signs of use? What number is on the jersey and who is the player? Post some photos, or contact me at gixc@verizon.net, and I will try to help.
