Can someone help date Dallas Cowboys pants by Red Fox?
Can someone help date this Southland Dallas Jersey?
Hello,
I'm back once again hoping that one of my friends on Gameuseduniverse can help me with a Dallas Cowboys Jersey. Can anyone provide any info (player, authenticity, year, approx. value,...) on the attached #83 Fitzgerald Jersey? I know he was not a starter after researching rosters. Tag is Southland, numbers and name are screened on, not sewn.
As always, thank you!

I wanted to add that the sleeves on the Southland jersey are not screened but is within (colors) the jersey itself. Also, from my research, there was no #83 listed on the 1965, 66, 79 and 80 team photos. Wondering if this player did actually exist but just never made it to the line-up? Hope you can help with any info.

They only wore that style of jersey from 1974-1981. The only Fitzgerald I remember was center John Fitzgerald (#62). WR Golden Richards was the only one I remember wearing #83 during those years.

Thanks slats7! That helps me narrow down a few rosters. Like you said, John Fitzgerald wore #83 as well as Golden Richards and Clark. Judging on the size of JF, it definitely wasn't his @ 255lbs. My previous guess may be right (79-80) where I did not see a #83 in the line up. This, meaning he may have made the team but was cut before season started. Golden Richards ended his career in Dallas I believe in 1978, next Cowboy photo'd in #83 was Doug Donley in 1981.
In your opinion, the jersey's features look authentic?
Re: Can someone help date Dallas Cowboys pants by Red Fox?
The one thing that looks off to me about this Jersey is the name tag. The font and the letter spacing does not seem to match others I've seen. I don't know if it was something they did in pre-season, but the name is pressed onto the Jersey itself and not onto a name tag sewn onto the Jersey.
Watching the Cowboy / Atlanta Game on 09/20, do my eyes deceive me or did the cowboys go dump their sea foam green colored pants to more of a sky blue colored pants.
