My connection with the individual from Seattle has only told me that the jersey was indeed worn by Shaun. I find the font interesting myself but I also know there are many inconsistencies with modern NFL jerseys, so many that I have documented them to the best of my ability over the past 3-4 years. More than you can imagine or care to know about.
The team repairs, and other factors are exact to other Seattle jerseys I have received from them. I always tell collectors that in regard to discrepancies whether it be in the year on neck swatches, patches, Reebok logos, and name fonts: the players don't wear them for us and for sure the equipment managers don't inspect them for all things being accurate before they go on the field.
Regards, Bernie

I don't care about team repairs and use if the item cannot be style matched for a name-plate font. I feel the buyer of this jersey has a jersey that cannot be authenticated elsewhere, so it is useless to me personally. There are photos from every game available for 2005, so somewhere there should be a photo of that font in use.
Remember, I once returned a Matt Hasslebeck to a seller due to the same exact font issue.

Re: 2005 SHAUN ALEXANDER Game Used Seahawks Road Jersey PSI
I still have not received a reply from PSI about my continued concerns that I emailed them on Tuesday. I guess their company policy based on this auction and our discussions tells me that this company will buy items from their source and will accept all items as genuine from their source even if photographic style-matching is not available.
In other words, their source is more valulable to their certification than simple font lettering style matching on a player's alleged game used jersey.
Again, my issue is that I have spent hours on this project (even before the PSI jersey was listed) attempting to find game photos or video images with any Seattle Seahawk player in 2005 wearing a jersey with the font used for the letter "A" as shown in the previous photos from the PSI jersey on auction.
I cannot find one player (yes, I watched some game film also to verify this statement as Getty and Beckett didn't help me with my style-match either) who has such a font used. I asked them to help me find such, they couldn't. I asked the forum members to help me find such, they couldn't.

Re: 2005 SHAUN ALEXANDER Game Used Seahawks Road Jersey PSI
this may be certainly OT but do religious passages/phrases (such as from Bernie) have any place in the game used forum (generally speaking...I personally see them as a smoke screen)?
