Carl Pickens 1994 jersey

[Jags Fan Dan]

Just saw this, looks like a really cool jersey, tons of use. I was actually tempted by it, but then when trying to style matched, found one big issue. Pickens wore #80 until 1995. Anybody know what the deal is with this jersey? It looks good except for "1" thing.

And I did contact the seller to see if they know what the deal is, will post any response I get.

Size 48 may be off also. Others from that era were 44.

Looks like it sold before:

The 8 doesn't look right either. The 8 from this 1994 game photo looks thicker

I asked the seller if he knew what the deal was with the number vs. year issue. His response: "I'm not sure. I have a coa from sports investments in Cincinnati and this jersey has a lot of use.and proper tagging."

To the sellers credit, he changed the description to reflect the number issue.

Bengals didnt wear sew on numbers until 1997

When I looked at photos from 1994, I wondered about that but could not tell if they were screened or sewn, thanks for the info.
