Roger Craig's name is often mentioned when the discussion turns to the 'best eligible player NOT in the Hall of Fame.' The 4 time Pro Bowler and 1988 NFL MVP certainly put up numbers worthy of the HOF, including three Super Bowl victories. We present a Roger Craig game worn San Francisco 49ers Home jersey from those glory years. From the Mears cert:1984-90 Roger Craig San Francisco 49ers Home Game Jersey w/ underarm to shoulder pad anchoring system.
Dating 1984-90 circa: Based on the style of the uniform numbering (front, reverse, sleeves), nameplate “CRAIG” font style, and supplier (Russell), this jersey is most consistent with the 1984-90 era. Also, the absence of the NFL neck shield pre-dates to 1991. Jersey style: Issued as the San Francisco 49ers home jersey, this pullover, mesh body shell was issued with a crew neck, customized sleeves (underarm gussets), and 2” extra length. Jersey is signed on back and comes with full LOA from PSA/DNA. MEARS LOA A-10.
Russell: Russell Athletics is verified as the supplier of 49ers jerseys during the 1984-90 era.
Customizations: In the area of the underarms and side panels are 5 sets of anchor holes used to tie the jersey to the shoulder pads. First time this feature has been examined on a Craig jersey.
Game Wear: Jersey exhibits moderate overall wear, with the presence of one team repair on the shoulder along with several heavy contact marks in the same shoulder area.
Jersey comes with MEARS A-10 LOA and autograph is PSA/DNA certified. Multiple images and Full LOAs available at goldinauctions.com.
