Peyton Manning Game Worn UT Jersey....FINALLY!!!

[WilcoVolsFan]

After 20 years of searching I finally found the jersey that I thought was unfindable. It is conclusively photo matched to the Citrus Bowl vs Ohio State on Jan. 1st, 1996. I literally still can not believe that I have it and it is without question the centerpiece of my collection. I hope you enjoy the photos of this incredible piece of sports history.

GO VOLS!

Pure curiosity, how do you acquire something like that? I would assume Manning would get to keep the jersey and not as if he needs the money and has to sell his memorabilia.

I would assume a charitable donation for auction perhaps?

Thank you for pointing out that I'm an idiot, without calling me an idiot. You are a good person.

Lol.

How much is that worth you think?

That’s awesome. Congrats man.

I wonder if players got to keep jerseys in the old days, or if they just stayed with the trainers until getting worn out and tossed in the garbage. For instance, if someone wanted a Bobby Dodd game-worn jersey, would it even exist?

Great question. Long ago no one cared about jerseys and they found the trash or were recycled for next years use.

I’ve been offered 100K and turned it down.

Nice. Hate that it was so difficult for a fan to obtain. I can remember buying them at Stokely before basketball games. Of course, that's before it became big biz.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Looks clean, no stains. Peyton must have been on his feet for most of that game.

 

[TNnative]

Does anyone else see a 21 underneath the 16? What's up with that?

Nope. All I saw was Peyton's signature.

 

[TNnative]

Not even going to ask what you paid. Nice, Doc.

 

[GoVols64]

Congratulations man, that is awesome. Would give an arm and a leg for that thing......

But are we sure Peyton actually signed it??

Sharp jersey. I have the same one in my basement. I do not think it is game-worn. Peyton more than likely has that jersey. The one you have and the one I have were once on a web-site called www.collegejersey.com
I bought mine for $150 and went back to buy the 2nd and it was gone an hour later. I had mine signed in Chicago by Peyton. The game-worn jerseys had a size on the tag by a number. Like size 50 or 48. I have a gamer from #44 King. Should have taken the $100K. I know UT jerseys because i have over 100 game-worn jerseys. I have Manning signed jerseys. Two are authentic and the 3rd is the one pictured. I will add photos. Still a sweet jersey.
