Grey Flannel is offering a circa 1980 Ken Stabler game used Houston Oilers road jersey

On the bottom left front tail is the "Sand-Knit" manufacturers size "44" tag. Above is an additional manufacturers tag "Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Houston Oilers." On the front, back and on each sleeve is the player number "12" in white on red screen print. Across the back is "STABLER" in white vinyl lettering on a light blue name plate. The jersey shows light game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.

Here are the photos of the one being sold

Stabler only played for the Oilers in 1980 and 1981

Here is a game photo from 1980- note the styles of the #1 and #2 on the front

Here is a game photo from 1981- note the difference in the sleeve font of the #2. It doesn't cut up at the end like the Grey Flannel jersey

Also note the cut of the sleeves in each

This jersey was on ebay about 6-8 months ago, maybe a bit farther back than that. I took a close look at it, it sold very cheap. I think under $100. The seller was in Canada and it was advertised as an authentic replica jersey with no wear. It did have the team tag at the time, jersey doesn't seem to have been altered since being on ebay.

Any chance you or another reader can find and paste the original Ebay listing here?

Thanks.

Just tried to find it but it was probably way too long ago, no longer in their database. But I looked at that jersey every day for a week. The GFC listing is identical to what was on ebay.
