Smithsonian and Game Used Jerseys????

[beantown]

Just happen to stumble across this website....

http://americanhistory.si.edu/sports/exhibit/introduction/index.cfm

Under the atheletes drop down menu, I noticed they had a Terry Bradshaw game used jersey from c. 1980...I can tell you that this indeed maybe a game worn jersey, however due to its design (shoulder cowl) it is an early 70's jersey.

I also noticed that they have a Roger Staubach game used jersey under "additional objects"....I'm no Cowboys/Staubach expert, but that jersey looks way off!

Does anyone have opinions on these or any other jerseys/sports related items liste on the Smithsonian's website?

I noticed several football items were donated by SI, I wonder if they have a large collection or if it was just a collector who worked for them.
