1986 Giants Mark Bavaro GU Jersey?
My favorite era of collecting is the 1980s (the decade of my youth), and I like both baseball and football jerseys. There's an eBay auction right now featuring a game-used Mark Bavaro Giants jersey:

I'm pretty sure that the Giants never used this font on their white jerseys during the mid-1980s (too skinny and a different font altogether). The shoulder numbers also look small. This seems to be the default font that was used on many authentic retail football retail jerseys through the early 1990s.
I'm far from a Giants expert, so maybe others here may have some information to add.

Good call. The location of the Spider Lockhart patch on the eBay jersey also doesn't match the Getty photo.

It's just an old retail authentic customized by Athletic Supply back in the 1980s

Re: 1986 Giants Mark Bavaro GU Jersey?
I agree font size seems off and patch location as well.. but as i read many post lately about grey flannel auctions being legit or not... seems that this is where his coa is from as well... hmmmmmmmm.... but i have gotten stuff from them that is 100% gu and worn so seems odd that so much stuff is in question from them lately as well ..im no expert just my 2 cents

The uniform is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use.
