Re: Game Used vs. Game Issued Jerseys
Personally I do not care for game issued items, I want an item that shows some use. To me, if you are going to buy a team issued jersey, why not just buy a retail authentic? Who knows if that team issued jersey was ever even in the same room as the player.Comment

An easy answer is for authentic patches that may not be available for purchase (or to avoid the hassle of buying patches and having them sewn on)....
Or is someone prefers a size 46 or 50 or something..Comment

Game used vs game issued
Ok so while getting more into game jerseys. I have see a few Game issued jerseys.
What exactly is a issued jersey vs used.
I know used means they wore it in the game and shows use.
But what exactly is issued? Worn on the sideline? Had extra just incase they needed it? Made but never worn by the player....Comment

Re: Game used vs game issued
Many a thread has been started, debated and argued on the term Game Issued. I think it is generally accepted that any jersey made to exact specifications for a player and hanging in the players locker with the intentions of being used but somehow never worn = Game Issued.
However when selling a jersey, people tend to use the term for any jersey that isn't "screened on numbers" replica. MeiGray GI falls into the initial catagory. NFL Auctions tends to retard generally accepted language with things like "Issued" "Team Specs" and "Team Issued"
For me, unless it falls into the first description, it's an "Authentic" jersey.Comment

Game issued means the jersey, pants, helmet, cleats etc. are made to the players specifications and are game ready but have not been used by the player. Basically they would be one of the spares that did not get used.

Re: Game used vs game issued
Another offshhoot that I would call "game-issued": a uniform made for the player's use, but unused due to the player being cut or traded before the season of intended usage began. I once had a John Verhoeven White Sox jersey that was made for him, but never worn as he was let go and picked up by the Twins prior to season's beginning. To me, that would aslo be "game-issued". (FWIW, Verhoeven ended up buying the jersey from me, as he never got to keep ny of his Chisox uniforms).
