One of the most successful quarterbacks to ever throw the football, Joe Montana had a flair for the dramatic as he orchestrated some of the most memorable comebacks in NFL history. A four-time Super Bowl champion, Montana earned Super Bowl MVP honors three times, took home the regular season MVP twice (including in 1990) and was named to the NFL’s 75th Anniversary All-Time Team. Montana’s No. 16 is retired by the San Francisco 49ers franchise and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000. On the front left tail is a “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions. Attached below are two flag tags that read, “44” and “CO” respectively. We are able to date this jersey to the 1990 season due to the absence of the NFL shield on the neckline and the Wilson date code, which dates the manufacturer’s tag to January of 1990. There is a custom cut in the v-neck. The player number “16” appears on the front, on the back and on both sleeves. Across the back reads the player name, “MONTANA” on a red mesh nameplate. All numbering and lettering are done in white tackle twill. Below the player number on the left sleeve is a Wilson logo embroidered. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. Accompanied by an additional COA and the original purchase receipt.
