Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Hello guys,
just wanted to let you all know that the 1995 Brown is as the description states, issued, not worn. How do I know this? I saw the jersey and it shows no wear. Besides some bleeding in a size "48" written on the front tag it is unused. The numbering and flying elvis logos are crisp as is the internal laundry tag. There is a very faint dirtying of the front 0 but not necessarily from game use. Also the internal custom crafted stamp looks to have no wear as well. The stripes on the jersey compare close to a shot of Brown in 1995 but the mesh holes do not match up exactly as they are just slightly not the same. I know that in 1995 Troy Brown wasn't a huge part of the offense, but he still returned kicks, played special teams and made some catches so his jerseys should show use.

In my experience with 1990s Patriots game used jerseys from that Starter era, actual used jerseys do show peeling of that inner team stamp. Unless your name was Drew Bledsoe you probably were not issued a new jersey for every game and the jerseys from that era should show pretty good use.

Nevertheless it is a nice jersey from a Pats Hall of Famer!

Brown has not arrived yet. He played in all 16 games that year so I'm hoping it shows some wear.

Well he would have worn white in 1/2 the games so Im guessing the blue would show some wear

I knew my Adrian Klemm 2001 home jersey would be team issued ancestors he was on the active roster for one home and one road but didn't see action in either one. Still I was happy to pay $350 for the jersey. I've been looking for one of his jerseys for years. Still looking for other University of Hawaii alumni players.

Kelly....How was the wear on the Brown? I was thinking hard about that one!

I was able to photomatch all of mine....not bad seeing 2 of them were only game issued. Just picked up NFL Rewind.....God's gift to Collecting!

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

My jersey was advertised as a 1997 Keith Byars home jersey. I just photomatched it online. It's from 1997 alright - the 1997 AFC Championship game! I lucked out on that one. Technically it is a 1996 season jersey, and I bought it thinking I would pair it up with my 1997 Byars road jersey, but I'm not complaining!!!

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Check your COA's against your jerseys. I received my jersey today and the pictures on the COA did not match the jersey.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Not sure about the Bledsoe, but everything dropped to $300-$1000 as they changed a lot of the descriptions to GI. I've seen DB's sell for $450-$650 for GU so 5k was over the top for sure.

They are not available at the store. If you call the online store and ask for Matt, he will pull it and give you a full desciption of use.

Mulligans, what happened to the Bledsoe jersey listed at 5k?
Did someone buy it?

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Some of the GI prices aren't too bad (understood, its still a lot of $) and I'm betting that most are actually Game Used as the Patriots are well know for only using a couple of Jerseys per season. I have never actually seen a true "Team issued" Jersey on the market that was offered by the Patriots prior to this release?

If you can grab one for $300-400 and photo match it, it could be woth alot more.

Are any of the game used jerseys for sale at the actual pro shop in foxboro?

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

I am dying for an Edelman Jersey but I despise the Patriots lol

I am waiting for him to get traded lol

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

I received the Pats Jerseys.....They are sweet and the COA's that the Team provides look pretty nice too.

The Faulk and Mayo both have Team repairs and the Edelman is labeled a Team Issued Jersey. The head of Marketing explained that instead of labeling all Jerseys Game Used without 100% proof of wear, any questionable ones would be labeled Game Issued.

The Edelman actually shows nice game wear with pilling and some staining on the numbers. At first glance, it appears to be the exact Jersey that he wore on October 18th 2009 against the Titans in the Historic 59-0 romp. It was actually the only game that Edelman wore the red Jersey in 2009....I'm looking forward to photo-matching it.

Has anyone else gotten theirs yet?
