Detroit Lions GW/GU Durene Jersey
Offered is a vintage game worn Detroit Lions jersey. Made by Wilson, this jersey is in terrific condition. Always looking to trade for vintage Eagles game worn used items.
The price is $399.00 and $5.00 for postage.

Re: Detroit Lions GW/GU Durene Jersey
Thre's a possible player ID on this one, Jim...David Jones was a late draft pick in 1974 for the Lions. He was a DB who went to Howard Payne, and did not make the cut. Still a great example of an old NFL durene gamer, though.

Re: Detroit Lions GW/GU Durene Jersey
Darn, I got all excited thinking it was going to be James Jones, the fullback from UF. Would have been mine in a heartbeat.

Re: Detroit Lions GW/GU Durene Jersey
According to the (dare I say Lampson LOA), here is what the LOA says: "Road white Wilson Size 44 Road White jersey attributed to Jimmie Jones. The jersey has solid game use with a nameplate change and restored NOB. The jersey shows more use than nameplate indicates that it may have been used prior to 1974 and carried forward. The jersey carries a final grade of 6.5. Jones was kick returner for the Lions in '74 gaining 927 yards on 38 returns.
There you have it. The LOA meant little to me. My decision to purchase the jersey was based on the following facts;
1) It wasn't that unusual for the Lions to recycle their jerseys and nameplates;
2) The jersey was attributed to a common player; and,
3) Wilson did make the jerseys for the Lions during the stated period.

Re: Detroit Lions GW/GU Durene Jersey
I checked football cards of James Jones on eBay...he wore #30,, not #31. Lou With No Clue strikes again!

Re: Detroit Lions GW/GU Durene Jersey
Scratch the previous post...it COULD be Jimmie Jones (not James Jones), although, without a roster, it wouldn't be ascertained. Jimmie did play RB (as well as KR), so 31 could have been his OR preseason DB Jones' jersey.
My apologies for rushing to conclusions.

Found a Jimmy Jones on the Lions 1974 roster and he wore the number 31 and a image on Getty.
