John Elway Jersey...Real or Retail?

[hockeytigers]

I am trying to help out a buddy...is this a game jersey or a retail version? Thanks Everyone!!

It could be game used or could be issued. The name on the name plate looks sewn on. I believe retail jerseys would have screened on names. It would have to be from 1990 or earlier due to the lack of NFL shield. I'm nowhere close to being an expert on the Wilson jerseys though. Attached is a pic with the Wilson logo. What's the Wilson experts think?

This is an early 90's model. The broncos used Rawlings in the '80's and the NFL shield was introduced in '92(?).

The '44' font seems to be bigger than the other tags that I have seen so I am guessing a retail authentic.

Here is a tag from '92, but it gives you and idea of the correct font size.

The neck shield first appeared in 1991.

Yes, the name is sewn on the back nameplate. The numbers are screened. Any Broncos experts out there?

The DX found on the tagging refers to a manufacture date of October 1991. The "D" is the year 1991 and the "X" is October. The most knowledgeable person to contact regarding this jersey would be Patrick of Endzone Sports Charities. He is a member here as well.
