Hey Guys,

Since starting to collect game worn NFL/NC State Alumni jerseys in 2004, I have always wanted to obtain a Philip Rivers Game Worn Jersey. I never wanted just any Rivers jersey but a jersey that had some prominence and could be authenticated and photo-matched easily to a game. I wanted a jersey that would be absolutely hammered.

This wouldn't have been possible without Mei Gray having the partnership with the San Diego Chargers. Barry was extremely helpful and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him on another purchase. It's always great doing business with such a reputable company like Mei Gray.

Below is a Philip Rivers Game Worn 2014 San Diego Chargers Away Jersey worn in the Chargers 27-10 AFC Wild Card Round Playoff victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on January 5, 2014 and in the Chargers 24-17 AFC Divisional Round Playoff loss to the Denver Broncos on January 12, 2014.

I have below photo-matched to the game against the Broncos on January 12th.

I am very pleased with this one and the pictures do not do this jersey justice. This jersey is absolutely hammered and can easily be photo-matched. Very excited to add a Rivers gamer that was worn in 2 playoff games, one of them being against Peyton Manning!

Great jersey and photo matching! What program are you using to put these pics together with the circles? I have a jersey I'd like to do this to.

Certainly not just any PR jersey - your right completely awesome and a great centerpiece for any collection.

I have dreams of owning a PR GW jersey myself but like you I would want it have some significance and be able to photomatch it as well. I had a shot at a Rivers' 05 jersey (when he was the backup for Brees) at a good price but passed because like you - I wanted one to exceed my expectations. Yours certainly does - brilliant jersey.

Thanks for sharing.

Sure thing jfbrens, I used Microsoft Powerpoint and cropped each of the pictures to fit them all on one page.
