Need help please!! Possible game used Miami Dolphins Jersey

[JasonBanz]

I am a huge Miami Dolphins fan and found a jersey a few days ago on eBay. It's from the 1994-1996 era. I bought it because it was an 88 jersey and I was a big fan of Keith Jackson back in that day. When I bought it I had no idea it could possibly be game used. After looking at it i'm thinking maybe it could. It could have been used by Keith Jackson, Joe Planansky, or Charles Jordan. I have a few questions on it's authenticity though. There is no year on the tag and the Dolphin logo was a trademark on it. I know on some game used stuff they take the last name off the back. I also don't think they began to make authentic made jerseys to buy until a few years later because some teams were still using the screen printed numbers instead of the sewn on. Any help would be great! Thanks! Here are some photos.

Hi..Nice jersey..and great team...I am a Phins fan) I am pretty certain that this is is a pro-cut, authentic; due to the Wislon Pro line tagging. When you see that tagging beside a "made Exclusinvely for Wilson Prestige Teams" tag or one tag that shares both logos..you have an authentic.

Here is some info from a GUU post on the subject of Wilson game tagging:



primer on Wilson tagging for MLB jerseys - late 60's to late 90's.
**NOTE: the image/primer/information below does NOT apply jerseys that have been tagged in the neck. Wilson neck tagging can often differ from Wilson body tagging during the same year. EG: Toronto Blue Jays tagging during the early-mid 90's. The information below has been collected and cross-referenced against itself from various unrelated sources. Although great effort has been made to get the transitional years exact, they may be off by 1. Also, given that some teams seem to recycle jerseys for years, it would not be surprising to see a circa 1984 Wilson tagging on a jersey that has been year tagged as 1989.

Thanks for the help! Glad to hear you are a Dolphins fan as well! One thing I noticed though was mine doesn't say "for prestige team" it was "authentic pro line" which is making me think it is not game worn just authentic.
