Has anyone come across one of the new 2012 Nike NFL jerseys with a number change? I understand that nameplate removals are fairly common but numbers, especially on brand new jerseys? I'll post some pictures later.....what are your thoughts?

I haven't seen it, but anything is possible. I would like to see the pictures of this myself.

My initial reaction, based only on what you've said so far...
I'd start from the position that it's an attempt to deceive. There'd have to be clear evidence to demonstrate it's something else.

Here are some pics of the number change. The jersey was #11 Mohamed Massaquoi, which 2012 was his last year on the team. 2012 would be Brandon Weedens first year. I assume there is a possibility that the nameplate was changed but there isn't anything obvious, which it would seem there would be with a name long name like Massaquoi but then again maybe not.

Thoughts?

Looks like there is a # change in this 2012 Topps card...possibly a rookie photo shoot jersey????

Looks like you are onto something there.....great work! I'll do some research and see what else I can find. Anyone else?

After looking at numerous 2012 Topps RC cards of Brandon Weeden, I'm convinced this jersey was worn during his Topps Rookie Photo Shoot. Big thanks to himes for finding the match!

decent shoulder picture of the "1" that was removed. Shows up really well on ebay using the zoom feature.

Congrats on the pick up! Pretty unique. Was the "AL" patch only worn on the left sleeve?

I think that would be correct. I'm not 100% sure though.

From what I've seen most of the jerseys worn by the 2012 rookies at the Panini event have had number changes (Brandon Weeden, TJ Graham, and the Luck)

Hello...thanks for that information...do you have some nice clear photos of Luck from the rookie photo shoot?

This one seems to match the marking by the front jersey "1". If you can enlarge the photo, you can also see a marking above the front jersey "2" that seems consistent with your photos.

Here is one of the jersey's back, wish the resolution was a little stronger:

Jason,

I think you're onto something here!!! I'm going to try to take better photos of the jersey I have and do a comparison...thanks

Thoughts? Still looking for better photos of Luck from his Rookie Photo Shoot....

obvious match in my opinion, unless someone went to unreal lengths to try and create wear that matches an obscure photo which is unlikely. Assuming this is Beantown's jersey, it comes from a knowledgeable and reputable collector and looks to be just a great find to me!

Looks pretty solid to me, Chris. Congrats!

I didn't find too many photos of Luck from that shoot. I checked out a bunch of his rookie card images also, but most appear to be air brushed or otherwise doctored. Nothing conclusive there.

Genius and Jason...thanks for the nice comments and help photo matching this jersey? Any thoughts on what this may be worth?

I don't know, seems like event-worn (even a rookie debut) wouldn't be as valuable as any gamer. This might be one you need to hold on to and see how his career goes. I think it might be worth four-figures to someone out there but at auction I don't think it would get that high. Again though I'm just guessing! A great pickup regardless!

Anything worn by Andrew Luck game or event (esp a jersey that has a ton of card photos and his first known Colts uniform) that jersey is worth over 1k easy.

There is no if ands or buts baring injury he is going to have an exceptional NFL career. If you could ever be so sure on someone he is the guy.
