I was in discussion with this seller some time ago about this jersey...his story has changed slightly from then. I decided not to purchase it since the sleeves were a MAJOR issue too me. It appeard to me that they were intially once cuffed and the cuff was removed and additional material was added. I tried numerous avenues to match the sleeves from the '01 season, but was unsuccesful. Here are some additional photos the seller sent me when we were discussing the jersey...

We had that discussion and what was not mentioned was that Brady like Bledsoe started with cuffed sleeves and had them altered! I had mentioned this before! In fact Bledsoe like other QB's had his right sleeve (throwing arm )wider than his left! This is very common. Sleeves are always altered. I obtained several 2001 jerseys from the Patriots and all of the stitching was the same!

Best images I could find for 2001 on Getty don't seem to support such a hack job on the sleeves:

I presume you're the seller. I posted two pics, neither show the poor sewing job to extend the sleeves this jersey does. Further, I personally have never seen a sleeve extended, only shortened, from the factory released versions. The Getty pics for 2001 seem to show a fairly standard hem, not an 'extension' that was done poorly. This almost looks like one of those pro-cuts that come with the very short sleeves, that were modified to extend them. No other explanation I can think of as to why a standard sleeve would be shortened then lengthened back to more standard length.

Of course if you can provide a photo match from another source, a Pats LOA, Mears LOA, or similar, I'm sure the doubts some have could be easily swept away.

Sorry Folks!
The auction ended early because the jersey was sold along with a Patriots COA and matching pics! I had several interested buyers and the winner was very happy with the pics and COA. He did some extensive research and found exactly what was needed. Thanks for providing the pics on the posts!

Interesting post.

You now claim you sold it with a Pats LOA? If you had such a LOA, why was it not included in the original Ebay description?

I find this a bit hard to believe; you list a superstar jersey and forget to mention that you have a TEAM LOA with it? Was this LOA obtained after your listing?

Regardless, can you post a copy of the LOA here?

Re: Tom Brady Patriots '01 Adidas Jersey - Ebay

nothing about this makes much sense.

team coa AND matching pics but neither of these was mentioned or posted anywhere? howard would like to see the team coa and i'd like to see the matching pics. you'd think those two things would be mentioned and posted as they'd greatly add to the sale price.

the jersey was labeled a "game issued jersey" yet the description read "shows wear".

lastly, why wouldn't any seller let the auction run if they had "several interested buyers"? you have a team coa, matching pics, and several interested buyers and you decide to end it early without seeing the maximum you could've gotten? or did it end early because a buyer was found who hadn't read this Forum and you didn't want to risk having them find it by waiting a few more days? gotta turn that boiling pot off before it starts bubbling over.

Re: Tom Brady Patriots '01 Adidas Jersey - Ebay

Who do you think you are? You people tear the jersey apart like you are experts (and you are not by any means) Then you get mad because I sell it!

I think we know who "tore the jersey apart" and it wasn't anyone on this board.
