Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

Re: Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

Is there any wear on the back of the jersey. Something more to help
identify which game. Plus does it still smell of the sweat from Witten.
I have a strong feeling it may have been washed and is from the 11-5-06
game against the Redskins.
There is a pic on Google under "jason witten vs washington 2007" page 15.
He's sliding with a defender right behind him. Lower part of the 8 is a yellow stain in the same place as yours is but brighter. Thats why i suggested it being washed.

It has definitely been washed by the Cowboys and does have a few stains. Since they are only issued 2 blues in a season and one is a backup jersey it is going to make it that much more difficult to find an exact photomatch. The Steiner COA just states worn during the 2007 season. The blue jerseys were worn last in 2007 against the Redskins which may explain the reddish and black stickum on the 8. Im thinking if it was worn and washed during the season the Redskins game is going to be my best bet. The sweat smell is not
there but I think he only had a few catches and it rained the whole game. Looks like I will probably have to find a video of that game somewhere to get a match.

Re: Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

I emailed the Dallas Cowboys Equipment Manager Mike McCord recently about the number of blue jerseys the Cowboys wear during the season and this was his reply

"As far as the blue jerseys are concerned, we generally order 2 jerseys for each player, however they normally only wear one for the limited games that we wear blue jerseys during the season."

Mike

Anyway, I just wanted to post that info for you guys in case you own any Cowboy blues. I will repost this returned email in a different thread as well since it sounds pretty helpful to everyone.

Re: Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

I gotta say man. I really don't think they are the same Jersey.

Look at the mesh in the top part of the "2". The one he is wearing the first row of mesh is slightly down from the number. On the jersey you have the first row of mesh is touching the number.

Me neither. Im going to move on to the Cowboys @ Redskins game 12/30/07. Makes more sense since the stain seems to be black with some dark reddish color. Maybe somebody can blow this photo up for me from AP.

Re: Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

Can you provide better pics of the mesh between the numbers? That will tell a lot. put a white piece of paper under for contrast and also make sure it is not wrinkled up so the jersey lays flat.

The jersey was laying as flat as I could get it to. Guess it has some slight wrinkles from being stretched over the pads. Anyway, you guys are probably right, I supposed its time for me to move on to a different game in 2007 that the blue jerseys were worn in. My crappy camera doesnt seem to be picking up the other small little stains....

Re: Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

Notice the loose thread at the bottom of the 8? Your jersey doesn't appear to have that.

Re: Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

I would agree its not the same jersey.

1) look at the damage to the #2 bottom left corner. Not seen in your jersey.

2) look at the bend in the #2 matches up with the notch in the #8. On your jersey it is in the middle of the notch. On the game jersey shown it is above the notch.

You may be right, but I think the damage that your talking about on the #2 is just grass. Also, the notches that line up may have something to do with the way he is wearing the jersey.

I really just need to get some better photos from the whole game. Either way, I really appreciate the input

Re: Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

Thx Scoot,

Well crap.... The photo at least looks like the beginning stages of the stain, IMO. Im not sure if I'll be able to find an exact match from any online photos, so far at least. Maybe I can get a copy of the game somehow. My search continues

Re: Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

Sorry to be off the subject. How did you blow that picture from ap images or getty??? Is that a program?

Re: Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

Re: Photomatch help on a Witten gamer

I have also found AP images and US Presswire.com are helpful. Don't know if there are more?

I'll check those out, thank you
