thanks paul,
but i am not worry about the jersey itself, its 100% authentic n game used as it got few repairs and helmet impact marks on the numbers on front n back and some on sleeves. it is from early 80s thats for sure....

my montana jersey matches the jersey in the picture so i would like to know what year the picture is from. Once anyone helps me with finding what year montana wears this facemask style then it will give me an answer

thanks

I didnt question the authenticity of the shirt but looking at the tags and shirt itself may help identify the year. My friend is an expert on Montana jerseys and he may be able to ID the year by the tags and sleeves etc. But if you dont feel comfortable posting or emailing me images that is up to you.

Hello,

The 49ers used the old Wilson brand through 1983. From 1984-1989 they used Russell Athletic. From 1990-1995 they used Wilson again with the newer Wilson tag and sewn on numbers and name. (Actually Montana began using this in the 89/90 playoffs.

Your jersey is pre-1984, from the 81-83 era. Not sure if you can peg it to a specific year, but if you could it would be through the Wilson tag. It looks great. Fun to see. Let me know if you ever make it avaliable. I have a 1994 Steve Young throwback from the Redskins game, team LOA and picture of Steve signing it that may become available for sale or trade.

RIO if you ever decide to sell your Steve Young shirt please let me know. I am a serious 49ers collector and am always looking for ANY quality 49ers gamers especially Steve Young shirts from 1994. Shoot me an email at garciajones@yahoo.com if interested in making some $$$$$$ for that shirt.

Thanks
Paul

If you have any other 49ers shirts that you are even considering selling please let me know

FUN FACT:

In 1993, in a publicity stunt orchestrated by the Kansas City Chiefs, the tiny town of Ismay, MT (pop. 26 in 2000) unofficially renamed itself Joe, Montana.
