Joe Namath 1969 New York Jets Game-Worn, Signed Heavy Warm-Up Jacket (JSA)

This item is from the collection of one of the foremost Joe Namath collectors in the world. His friendship with Joe since the beginning of his Jets career has led him to receive some amazing one-of-a-kind relics. Each piece hearkens back to an important NFL era and time capsules an unforgettable character with a Hall of Fame career.

In the 1968 season, it came as no surprise that the New York advanced to the Super Bowl, what with quarterback Joe Namath at the controls of a potent offense. Yet the talented Baltimore Colts were heavily favored mainly because of their NFL roots, so when the Jets’ victory pulled off the unthinkable, it was an upset of major proportions.

Presented is one of Joe Namath’s sideline jackets from that memorable Super Bowl season (1968-69). The heavy satin-like jacket is simple as a solid green with white stripes on the sleeve ends. The team name “JETS” boasts across the verso in white sewn on letters. The interior is features a fur-like lining for maximum warmth. The exterior features a hood that can be folded out from the top. There is a manufacturing tag (Aladen Athletic Wear, Prompton Lakes, NJ) with a #12 marked in faded blue marker (Namath’s jersey number) in the collar. The jacket displays great wear throughout. Also featured is the perfect autograph on the back “J” by Namath who also added “Willie” for his friend in black felt tip.
