Subject: Emmitt Smith and Joe Namath jersey questions! Mon Oct 18 2010, 09:22
So i was given a couple of jerseys from my father today. He found out i was starting to collect them and wanted to give me his since he never wears them. I am super careful about fakes since i bought and got rid of my last jersey which was a fake. (thanks to those that helped me!) Anyways i wanted to do some research on these. The Emmittsmith jersey i think is authentic. Though i cant find ANYTHING on it or the "Cowboy legends" brand of jersey. Is it authentic? The Joe Namath is a gridiron classic throwback. I believe it to be a Premier jersey. I only have one issue with it. The tags have the NFL players tag. Ive read that fakes have that tag. Is it a legit Premier? Im happy to add these to my collection cause i was planning on buying them anyway but i just want to make sure they are legit. Additional details below and many thanks!
ANOTHER thing i found odd was the cowboys writing on the front of the jersey. It seems to be a mini patch and not on the jersey itself. I have yet to see that.
Emmittsmith size 48 Joe Namath size L NFL Hologram has the following on it: AFC and NFC logo's, footballs, NFL logo, National football league writing.

The NFLPA logo is meant to be there on the Namath, so it's fine. I've not seen the tag on the Smith jersey before, but the equipment badge looks good and the 'Cowboys' badge should be a patch and not sewn in, so I'd be happy with it to.

Thanks a ton for the help. Is there any reason in particular that i can not find that emmitt jersey that i have anywhere online? Is it hard to come by?

The Cowboys are the only team that didn't sign up to the reebok deal and still control their own merchandising. That's why their jerseys have a Cowboys tag and not a Reebok. Iwould get in touch with the Cowboys pro shop and see if they are able to give you any history on it.

Interesting. Thanks again for your help. This is by far one of the best sites for Jersey collectors.
