Chris,

Hello...I was looking at the above mentioned auction listing and something caught my eye...

http://8dauctions.com/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=251&searchby=0&searchvalue=None&page=0&sortby=0&displayby=2&lotsperpage=50&category=1&seo=Circa-Early-1970

I started to reference photos of Namath wearing a Champion Mesh Jersey w/ Silk Screened Numbers and Name and noticed that the photos I was coming across, showed Namath in a similar style jersey, however, the jersey Namath is wearing does not have the large white stripe on the sleeves.

The photos I referenced, show that Namath had the large white stripe on the sleeves cut off and in some intances the jersey sleeves appear to be un hemmed, while others show the sleeves appearing to be hemmed. I know these photos aren't the end all be all for Namath, but if someone can find a photo of Namath wearing this style jersey with unaltered sleeves, please post.

Here are some photos depicting Namath with the modified sleeves...
