A veteran of 84 National Football League games over the course of his six-year NFL career that saw him take the field for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals, offered here is this New England Patriots jersey issued to defensive end Rodney Bailey for Super Bowl XXXIX, won by New England over the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 24-21. Of note, Rodney didn’t play a single game all year in his lone season as a member of the Patriots, spending the season on injured reserve. Made by Reebok, a jock tag with size “52” and “+2 Length” fly tags is found affixed to the front hem while a year/size label reading “04-52” has been sewn to the inner collar. Displaying both NFL Equipment and Patriots wordmark patches at and under the front collar, Bailey’s number “96” is found over the front, reverse and both sleeves in tri-layer tackle twill numerals while “Bailey” is spelt out in single layer navy twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate. Having had Patriots and Reebok logos added over both sleeves, the all-important Super Bowl XXXIX patch has been added over the left breast. Remaining in excellent condition with no obvious signs of game-use having never actually been worn, the jersey displays beautifully despite a couple of yellow coloured liquid stains over the front and one small one over the reverse. Hailing from Bailey’s personal collection, his signed LOA will accompany the piece. Of note, the LOA incorrectly lists the piece as game-used and not game-issued.
