I was planning to bid on the Earl Morrall (can't find a Dolphins one) in the current auction. When I did my homework I noted that the font (check out the 5) on the jersey in auction does not show up in any Morrall pics from 1968. Gary Cuozzo wore 15 prior to Morrall. Prior to 1968 the font used is the same as the jersey "being donned" by Earl Morrall. Looks to me like this is a Gary Cuozzo jersey not Earl Morrall. I e mailed Aaron at Mears on my observations and waiting to hear back. Any one else have thoughts? I will post the Cuozzo picture on another post as I was unable to add another pic.

Below is picture of Cuozzo circa 1966. Note the font on bottom of 5. Same "block" look as the Unitas 9.

Bean town,

Great pic! Thanks. I had no luck in getty images. Did you come across any game pics with this style font?
