Yellow jersey with blue stripe trim on the long sleeves. There is a "Wilson" manufacturer's tag on the center front tail of the jersey. Attached to that is an additional manufacturer's tag with the jersey size "44" on it. On the front and the back of the jersey is the player number "49" in blue tackle twill. This style of jersey was used by the Los Angeles Rams from 1951 to 1957. During this period, two players wore this number: Carl Mayes, a running back in 1952, and Ed Hughes, defensive back in 1954 and 1955. The Rams moved to Los Angeles from Cleveland in 1946, and then moved from Los Angeles to St. Louis in 1995. The jersey shows excellent game-use. There are tears on the back, on both sleeves, and a small hole in the front below the numbers.
