Thanks for the photos. The numeral fonts are slightly different, but they did wear this style for 3 seasons. I know Southland made some remakes, just need to know their practices. I am still waiting to hear from my Southland contact.

Just went through font issues (sleeve numbers also) with an old Eagles jersey that I eventually sent back to the Seller. Check old football cards from 1964 Philadelphia, Topps and Fleer. That collar is really distinctive.

Here are some authentic Meredith jerseys that were auctioned in recent years (notice the wraparound "tail" on one of them), as well as a Topps color negative. FYI, all of the early Cowboy jerseys had that distinctive collar.

Thanks for the photos.
Grey Flannel had one with the crotch-piece that sold for $171,000!

I think yours is a knockoff. Note how the TV/shoulder numbers are navy instead of royal blue like the rest of the jersey. In the photos I provided, the blue was always uniform.

It is hard to capture the true colors with camera flash and lighting conditions. The colors of the shoulder numerals is the same as the jersey. Are you familiar with any replicas of the double-star durene?
