Marshawn Lynch photo match

[SEAFAN76]

They washed it, so the brown/redish stains are gone from the ball.
The typical Seattle equipment manager markings state the date last used, and then the backup date. So used, washed, on stand bye for a later game.

The "feathers" in the number is basis for my photo match.

I wish I had a high res version of the Getty image. They want a fortune for it.

No pics to share the photomatch with the class?

Can't get better than that. Feathers fall in the exact spots.
I also have a home Burley jersey, and he's #28.
The "2" on the Burley doesn't match the "2" on the Lynch jersey, showing they are all cut different.
I really wish they hadn't washed it to be used as a backup jersey later. It would have been a lot easier with the brown ball marks left there.

Excellent photomatch!

Sadly, equipment managers don't care much for us collectors and only worry about the next week's game.

I have a Cutler like this one. Washed but still enough there for a conclusive photomatch...

Well actually they usually don't wash them and his are beat up.
This was a preseason game and I don't even think he had a carry.
The ball "marks" are from before the game. So I see why they used this later as a backup.
The tag is hand written as usual with the typical Seattle codes.
"8/14" last game he wore it in.
"B/U 10/27" for the game is was set as a backup jersey.

So the jersey is typically used for one game, not washed and sold or retired?

I'm honestly curious how Seahawks do it.

I can only speak for Bears and our jerseys are washed and re-used.
