Mid 1980’s Walter Payton Game-Issued Chicago Bears Jersey – COA 100% Team-Grade 9/20

Presented is a Walter Payton team-issued jersey.  The jersey style dates to the latter part of Payton’s Hall of Fame career 1984-87 with the Chicago Bears.  The tagging is a 1978-85 Wilson tag sewn on the tail.   Don’t be thrown off by this detail.  This indicates that this white mesh jersey shell hung around the locker room for years before the team decided to screen apply the identifiers “34” on front/back/sleeves. “PAYTON” has also been applique on the reverse nameplate in black/orange.  Key identifier is the sleeve bearing the “GSH” memorial letters. There is no use shown on the jersey.

A game issued Walter Payton jersey has the same team and players specification as a game used Walter Payton Jersey. A great addition to a collection for year style.  So you could not get these type of jersey’s at the store.  These type of game issued  jersey’s were only giving  to VIP’s and personal friends of the Chicago Bears but note they came directly out of the locker room.  A very nice representation of a Walter Payton Game Style jersey.
