ST Louis Rams Game Worn jersey?

[Preston]

Hey all,

Someone in my area has this jersey of Jeff Zgonina, they say they are a personal friend of his. Is this a game jersey in anyone's opinion or an issued or just a really nice replica/authentic? Thanks for any help!

And the tag (guessing its retail)

I have owned a few of those older Rams jerseys. The pictures you posted are consistent with the ones I owned.

Awesome that's what I was wanting to hear. For the price I'm going to get it for I had to make sure it wasn't too good to be true

Looks like it was a 1996 team issued jersey carried over to 1997. Notice the application of the Wilson logo on the sleeves with the Russell tag in the neck.

Rams were supplied by Russell until 1997

Mattapan's analysis is correct. Also, the Rams have a history in that era of often writing a digit on a Russell or, earlier on, a Sand-Knit tag to denote the year of issue (number used is last digit of year).
