Just wanted to get some opinions from knowledgeable Miami Dolphins jersey collectors. I have been looking and trying to find Duper and Clayton wearing this style of jersey, specifically the sleeve cuffs, but I'm having difficulty finding anything. Does anyone have photos of them wearing this style? Any help and opinions would be appreciated.

I'm not an experienced collector, but perhaps try looking around 1988?

I know very little about this era of Dolphins jerseys but I'd love to know more about the fact they are both size 38. I remember being amazed to find out 2010+ game worn jerseys came in this size and I'd love to learn more if late 80's (post s-m-l-xl-xxl) jerseys were worn by players in such tiny sizes as well.

I'm amazed how crisp and clean the Clayton looks and how laundered and cracked yet unrepaired and clean the Duper is. That being said, the spandex sleeves are a dead give away from being at least team issued, I've never seen them on store bought authentics. (Pre-eBay years where blanks are readily available) From experience I know Gerry Cosby jerseys from this time had dye sublimated open sleeves ala qb cut with three stripes.
