Help on this Atlanta Falcons jersey

Ran across this jersey at a flea market. Anyone have any thoughts on it? Any chance it could be game used? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a mid to late 80's Scott Case gamer to me. Right size (42)and tagging. From the pics it looks like a white tag might have been sewn above the Russell tag. Nice find by the way.

To pin it down further, this is a 1984-to-1986 era Falcons jersey, most likely 1985 or '86. It cannot be from 1987 or later as the bird logo was moved "into" the sleeve stripes in 1987, and in 1990 the Falcons completely changed their uniforms. (Scott Case played for the Falcons from 1984 through 1994.)

Hope this information helps.

P.S. I forgot to mention, the missing tag is most likely the year tag as those were notorious for quickly fading and sometimes falling out. I've had a number of Falcons jerseys where the tag is nothing more than an unreadable white piece of cloth hanging on by a few threads. The Falcons also had a Reeder-McGaughey tag (local supplier) on their jerseys at various times in the 1970s and '80s, but those tags did not tend to wash out like the year tags.

If anyone needs to see photos of any of these examples, please let me know as I will be glad to post.
