Drew Bledsoe 1997 Road Jersey Set 2
So I recently picked up this jersey and I think I have the closest thing to a photo match I can get on this one as it looks to have been laundered and doesn't have many hit marks.
The set 1 was sold with an auto by American Memorabilia: http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/A...d=62050&t=&p=0
Here is a loose thread on the back nameplate:
Here is a photo from the game at the Broncos 10/6/1997:
If you zoom in you can see the loose nameplate threads on the bottom right corner:
Here is the set 2 stamping:
Here are marks on the lower back tail:
Stains on the back collar:
Hit mark practically on the left armpit:
I'm obviously pretty certain it is game issued, but the laundering has made it incredibly tough to photo match. I'm wondering if anyone has any better ideas to get a better match to help with game used provenance.
Thanks for any help!

Can't help you on your questions - just curious if this is the jersey that sold on eBay a couple of weeks ago (with the crappy pictures)?

Custom Crafted jerseys and big name players always just raise an eyebrow for me right off the bat. Hopefully you can dial in a match.

Yes it is. The key that made me go for it was the size, extra length, and how high the mesh goes on the jersey. At a minimum, I believe this to be a game issued jersey.
Mesh goes all the way to the shield:
Thank you. There are some loose threads on the bottoms of the front 1's (red loose thread on the left 1 and a loose blue thread on the right 1; see pics below). I'm going to do more searching for up close pictures of the 1's to look for something more concrete than my previous loose thread comparison. There is also a loose thread on the left shoulder minuteman (flying Elvis).
