AMI Dan Marino

[lund6771]

AMI is offering an incredible Dan Marino jersey from 1994-95!!!!....it even comes with a letter from the team!!!

only problem is that it doesn't match up to the pics...whoooops!!!!

Notice the green and orange bands on the sleeves...not only are the size of these color bands wrong, the overall sleeve length is not even close...

they have a "personal" loa from Lampson as well...does that mean its even more worthless?

here are the links...lets see if it gets pulled!!!

Re: AMI Dan Marino

The AMI jersey looks like the throwback jersey they wore in two games that year.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Genuis,
I had noticed differences in the jersey, also from all the pictures on Gettey. This jersey also as a screened on name on the back. Where did you find pictures of a throwback jersey? Can you tell me the dates they were used?

Here's AMIs


I'm wondering, what did AMI say when you contacted them about this issue. According to the forum rules, you must contact them first before calling something into question....

Re: AMI Dan Marino

The Miami Dolphins wore the 1972 replica jerseys against the Minnesota Vikings. Hard to tell if the sleeves match.

Here's another link http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/S.../3028/mia.html

Sleeves look correct, as does the Wilson "W" logo placement. Not sure about the nameplate.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

The AMI Marino sleeves have 3 aqua stripes and two orange.

The link you sent has different sleeves- however Dan Marino had different sleeves from the other players....

How many stripes are in the Marino game photo vs the Vikings?

Re: AMI Dan Marino

I count three aqua stripes and though I can't really see the orange ones, that would mean there are two small orange ones. I distinctly remember that the 94 throwbacks had the same striping as the 72 Dolphin jerseys. I don't know that this is the exact jersey Marino wore in the Vikings game but it sure looks like a style match at least. Would love to find a nameplate shot from the Vikings game though.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

On Marino's right arm, I count two aqua and one orange stripe. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Re: AMI Dan Marino

It's tough to tell. Looking at his right sleeve, going from right to left, I see a green stripe, then a thin white stripe, then a middle green stripe which looks like it might have orange on each side of it, then another thin white stripe, then another green stripe where the sleeve is cut.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

I think the sleeves are similar to another jersey Marino wore in 1994

Re: AMI Dan Marino

That could be because the orange and green stripes are touching, eliminating some of the white space between them. I see two distinct small white lines on the right sleeve and a hint of orange in there. The auction jersey's right sleeve has the orange and green stripes touching.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Forum members,

What scares me on this jersey is not so much the stripes on the sleeve, which is very important, but the year tagging. It is very apparent that original numbers where written on the tag with a black "fine line" marker, then someone went back over the numbers with a wide black marker. If you look closely it appears as if the "3" in the # "13" has a flat right side. Could this have been a "7" and then touched up to become a "3"?? I for one, do not like how the "3" looks compared to the rest of the numbers. I am by no means an expert on Marino jerseys...this is just my Marino layperson's observation.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Mark,

That is the writing in the waistband of the pants and is not on the jersey.....

Re: AMI Dan Marino

I will talk to Victor net week and get some specifics on this jersey. I spoke to him breifly yesterday and he was on his way to Cleveland, I think he said, to do a show.

The sleeve length is of concern. Marino seems to have always shortened his sleeve length.

I first thought the name was screened on. After looking at it I think it is sewn on. It is hard to tell. This is one things I will verify.

The throwbacks were used 9-18-94 vs the Jets and 9-25-94 vs the Vikings. There is one picture of Marino on 9-18 on Getty. It is a head shot and is attached. I attached the only picture that "almost" shows the name plate on a player and it looks to not be outlined with orange like the regular season uniforms are, a photo of that is attached also.

I am sure AMI deferred to the team paperwork on this jersey.

The fact that there is no pictures of Marino in this game makes me wonder if he played. I will try to check that out.
