Thoughts On Rookie Jack Lambert Jersey

[jobathenut]

There is a rookie jack lambert jersey on vintage authentics right now.I think it looks great.And just would like to know what people's thoughts are on it.As being a steelers fan and a huge lambert fan i have'nt seen very many lambert game used items especially jerseys.And i have never seen a "rookie" anything of his.I know there has been a post on here about lambert game used jersey's before.So i'm hoping those same people will give me thier insight about this jersey.I am stubid when it comes to computers.So im sorry i could'nt include a link to the auction here.Maybe someone smarter can post one for all to see the jersey.

First thing that jumps out at me is that the NOB is not centered above the "58" equally.....it's off centered to the left.

Find rookie pictures of Lambert and see if you can picture match that flaw....

I think that is just the way it is, because the way it fits on the mannequin.
From the info I have learned from this forum, the spacing between the letters on the NOB is on point.

Hi,

Also, the description states that the nameplate was removed and then re-attached. Doesn't say/don't know if that was done during the season, after the season, years later...so I wouldn't focus on how the nameplate was centered over the numbers as we don't know when it was reattached.

Thanks,

Tom

The one question i have,(and hopefully one of the experts on here can help me) is why would you remove the name plate on it? I guess i don't understand the purpose of that.And where did this name plate come from?Did it come from another lambert jersey from the same year or different year or is it not even from a game used jersey.Because if it was custom made for the jersey and never actually wore on a jersey then why would you put it on it.I mean was this done alot with jerseys in that era.Where they took off the name plates on them after the season's or something.Some insight would be great.I know there are jersey experts on here and would love to hear from them.I am in no way questioning this jersey's authenticity,i am just asking why add a name plate on it if it did'nt have one on it.Just sell it as it was.thanks

Don't know about the Steelers but in the 1970's and early 1980's, the Eagles would remove nameplates from jerseys;

1) when the team sent jerseys to charities or special events. This was done because the team owned the jersey but NOT the name on the jersey;
2) if a jersey was trashed but the nameplate could be re-used on another jersey.
3) If the jerseys were sold on a wholesale basis.

I got this info from two (2) retired Eagles equipment guys.
