The first company to have licensed NFL Throwback jerseys, Tiedman & Co. in ‘91, sold the license to Champion Products, a division of Sara Lee, which produced these great jerseys from ‘91-‘93 as “Throwbacks Vintage Collection by Champion. They made many teams being true to tradition and have become very rare and collectible in recent years. Made from a very tough cotton with sewn tackle twill numbers and have padded elbows. This is a circa mid 60’s Navy w/ 2 color sewn tackle twill numbers on front, back and TV numbers on sleeves, and is signed by the legendary King of the Middle Linebackers, Dick Butkus, “Dick Butkus #51 HOF 79 “on the front #1. I’m breaking up a very large collection so jersey was never worn, only displayed, so it’s in perfect condition. Comes with my collection’s No BS COA, and the autograph is 100% guaranteed, period. Jersey size is Large. ( they run big )
