Possible games used in:

From what I have managed to find so far, the high position of the numbers on the sleeves seems to be less common than the lower positioning. I could be mistaken of course as I have not been able to find a great deal of 1974 photos, but this is what I have come up with so far.

Photos from 12/22/74 @ the Pittsburgh Steelers:





The two games above were the final two that O.J. played during the 1974 season.

I've also been looking for additional nameplate photos from the 1974 season and found this picture of Joe Ferguson from 12/8/74 to compare to the nameplate on my Simpson jersey.

I was thinking those blue home jerseys can't possibly be gamers, but then I found this. Alvin Wyatt played for the Bills in '71 and '72.

I've been continuing to do more research.

I found a still shot from a video interview O.J. had with Michael Jordan back in 1988. The video showed some highlights from O.J.'s playing career and I felt that the image below displayed a similar nameplate to the one on my jersey.

However, I think the sleeve design might date the image below to 1975 or later.

Interesting images!

Does it look like there is an actual nameplate on the O.J. jersey from the pics?

The #16 jersey looks very similar in style to my O.J. jersey.

-Sleeve design.
-Placement of sleeve numbers.

Are all the jerseys in the pics you posted Game-Worn?
