In 1978, Joe Theismann became their starting quarterback. Theismann led the Redskins to a win in Super Bowl XVII and an appearance in Super Bowl XVIII and would go on to set several Redskins franchise records, including most career passing attempts (3,602), most career passing completions (2,044) and most career passing yards (25,206). He was the NFL's MVP in 1983 and played in two Pro Bowl games, earning the player of the game award in the second game. On the front left tail of the jersey is the "Russell" size "40" manufacturer's tag. On the front, back, and on each sleeve of the jersey is the player number "7" in burgundy on yellow screen print. Across the back of the jersey is "THEISMANN" in burgundy screen print on a white nameplate. The jersey has custom trimmed sleeves. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
