Re: Pro-Cut, Game Issued & Game Ready Jerseys - a Definition
The Favre throwback jerseys is a good issue to add to this discussion. (I got another Sticky!
)
Not too many people know the story behind them. The Packers had about 100 extra throwback blank jerseys left over after the 1994 season. When Grey Flannel made a bulk purchase from them after the 1996 Super Bowl Season, The Packers offered them these 100 jerseys made up as Brett Favre. The Packers sent them out to there own lettering place and lettered all the extra 1994 throwback jerseys as Brett Favre.
Most of these jerseys were marked inside with green marker "NGU", meaning "Not Game Used". This was done by Grey Flannel to make sure that they could not be passed off as game used. Here is the question, aren't these jerseys all game/team issued? They may not be made to Brett Favre's specs, as actually a few were. Aren't the jerseys with linemen sleeves still team issued?
