Eli Manning Rookie Game Issued Jersey

[NJGMAN14]

Hey guys Im new to the forum...Great Site!
I recently acquired a 2004 Eli Rookie Issued Jersey. I am a collector of Giants Game worn jerseys. Now my questions are as follows....I am a NYG expert....but looking at this jersey...there are 4 (2 on each side) diagonal strips on the front and back. I don't recall Eli wearing a jersey like this. Its next to the nameplate on both sides...See the pics....Also the tag says 4lb..i tought it should say 2lb....otherwise it looks good. I was told it was from b and e collectables and this person bought it before they sold it. He said he paid over 900 for it. Now my thoughts are this jersey could have been made for rookie camp etc.....cant wait to hear your thoughts.....thanks

Based on pictures from that year, the jersey style is wrong for Eli.

Yes that's my findings also but everything else checks out as genuine..could it be an issued jersey maybe during Minicamps or preseason ?

Looks like a blank jersey someone customized into a Manning jersey.

The length is correct it's just the style that I'm questioning...? Otherwise it looks legit.....

So this is definitely a customized jersey.....from what you can see??
