Peyton Manning Jersey's w/ Short Sleeves

[beantown]

I was watching the 2006 NFL Pro Bowl Skills Competition today and I noticed that Peyton Manning was wearing a jersey that to me appeared to be "game cut" vs. retail "authentic". I happened to notice that the sleeves were "shorter" that his "game used" jersey's and may explain, why we have seen some of these in the hobby. Moreover, I referenced Getty and found these images from 2005 and 2006 depicting the "shorter" sleeves....just my thoughts....

These jerseys have shorter sleeves than his game jerseys. However, it seems the questionable Mannings had "lineman" sleeves, which are almost sleeveless.

I couldn't agree more on those "lineman" cuts...they're 100% bogus! I was thinking more along these lines....

It still wouldn't explain the dirt and other stains...
