Offered here is a 14 karat gold tie clip from the 1969 New York Jets. Led by brash quarterback Joe Namath, the American Football League’s New York Jets entered the newly named “Super Bowl” as 18-point underdogs against the National Football League’s juggernaut that was the Baltimore Colts. Despite being 18-point underdogs, Namath guaranteed the Jets would win and delivered the landmark victory for the AFL as the two leagues were in the middle of their historic merger. Namath finished Super Bowl III going 17-for-28 and came away with the game’s MVP (the only quarterback in Super Bowl history to win the MVP without throwing a touchdown pass). This tie clip has a white Jets football helmet with gold borders and their logo in green with gold print. This gold tie clip is in good overall condition given its age.
