This uniform ensemble was worn by New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas during Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010 where they defeated Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 31-17. Thomas rushed 9 times for 30 yards and caught 6 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in the game. The jersey is sans manufacturing tagging due to a custom elastic tail. Below the inner rear collar are two white strip tags reading “09-44” and “L” in black. On the v-neck is the official “NFL” logo embroidered in red, white, blue and silver. Across the front, on back and on each shoulder is the player number “23”. Across the back is the player name “THOMAS”. All lettering and numbering is done in black on gold tackle twill. On the left shoulder is the “SUPER BOWL XLIV” logo patch embroidered in red, orange and white. On each sleeve is the Saints “fleur-de-lis” logo embroidered in black, white and gold. Adjacent above is the Reebok logo embroidered in black and white. Thomas has signed the “2” on the back of the jersey in silver marker with the added inscriptions “#23”, “Who Dat!!”, “Game Used” and “Super Bowl XLIV Champs!!”, in our opinion the signature rates a 7. On the inner rear zipper flap of the pants is the “Reebok” manufacturer’s tag with the player number “23” written in black marker. Attached are three flag tags that read size “38”, “1” S.I.” and a list of body fabrics with wash instructions. On the inner left waistband is a white strip tag with the year “09” in black. On the left leg is the official “NFL” logo embroidered in red, white, blue and silver. On the right leg is the Reebok logo embroidered in gold and black. On each side is the Saints “fleur-de-lis” logo embroidered in black, white and gold. “NIKE” manufactured “AIR LT SUPERBAD” black and white cleats. On the inner tongue is the size “12.5” tag. On the outer tongue strap of each cleat is the player number “23” written in silver marker. On the back of each is the number “21” stamped in the cleat. On the outer heel of each reads “NIKE” in black. The inner heel area reads “NEVER OUT HUSTLED”. On both sides of each cleat is the Nike “Swoosh” logo in white. The “Swoosh” logo also appears at the base of the tongue in black as well as on the tongue along with “FOOTBALL” and “NEVER OUT HUSTLED”. Across the strap on the right cleat reads “SUPER” and across the strap on the left cleat reads “BAD”. “Nike” manufactured “VAPOR JET” gloves. On the inner bottom of the glove is the size “XL” tag. On top of the glove is the Nike “Swoosh” logo rubberized in black and white. Adjacent next to the “Swoosh” is the official “NFL” logo rubberized in red. white, blue and silver. The uniform ensemble was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. The jersey shows moderate use and may very well have been a backup. Accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
