Re: GFC Joe Morris Giants
I can't speak to the use on it, but I also just noticed that the "end" of the bottom of the #2 goes up in the GFC jersey and is straight in the Giants photos with the similar diagonal #2 font.

Re: GFC Joe Morris Giants
Eric I agree with you. Actually it was the first thing I noticed before even the year of the font style.
The the font numbers are waaaay to thin. I am not a football jersey expert myself but I am going by the pictures you supplied from Getty. Not only that!! I would imagine from use and the Jersey being over 20 years old the font numbers themselves would be slightly dulled.
If you look at them they look pristine shiny as if someone just placed those numbers on last week.Leave a comment:

GFC Joe Morris Giants
Hey everyone,
I was looking at the New York Giants game used Joe Morris jersey in the Grey Flannel auction which is listed circa 1988. I was trying to figure out what year it could be from. Wondering if I could bounce my research off you folks.
GFC listing
http://www.greyflannelauctions.com/LotDetail3.aspx?lotid=20755
Joe Morris played for the Giants from 1982-1988
Note the style of the #2 in the Grey Flannel jersey
In 1985, the Giants switched to this font style on the #2
Which means the jersey would have to be from 1982, 1983 or 1984
Here are some photos of the Giants numbers from those years
1982
1983
1984
To my untrained eye, (I am not a paid authenticator) the numbering looks thicker in the game photos. Did the Giants use different thicknesses in those seasons? Interested in opinions from people who know.
Thanks
Eric
