| Very happy with this. The hemming / size / cut seems to match Clement's specs (albeit he has also worn a size 48. There is slight signs of use on the numbers, and obvious use (white lines) on the pants and the socks. I actually think this has been game worn, and subsequently washed. The pants are kinda interesting. They're tagged 03, but have multiple numbers which have been scored out, suggesting they have been recycled between players. The straps / elastic has obvious wear that would be consistent with pants which were used over a number of seasons. I can't make out the other numbers too clearly, but one of them is "21". I'll maybe do some digging on the weekend to see if any of the other numbers match players who played for the bills (and presumably left) between 2003 and 06 that would be consistent with that size. I'm also going to try and photomatch the pants (the white line would be very obvious, just around the knee) and there is a big stain on the socks, just above the cleats. It's a bit of an outshot, but worth doing a bit of digging. Irrespective of photomatching, it's a great looking uniform! I can't see the pictures at the moment, so hopefully the links have worked: | |

| Nice, that could be the uni I sold a couple of years back. | |

| Really? I'd guess the markings on the pants are pretty distinctive, in terms of year / numbers. Do you know much about it (i.e. was this a whole uni, did it come from JO or Bills directly, was there originally a COA, was the jersey game used?) | |

| Wow - that's great news that it was game worn! I'll try and get some pics from the Fins game to match it against.
The seller told me he had the COA from the Bills, but wasn't sure where it was. He's going to check next time he's back home (I think he was a college student, so currently on campus - the COA was at his parents). I didn't mention the COA previously, since it wasn't entirely credible.
I'll PM you the exact details... | |

| Glad it's gone to a good home, I didn't really want to sell it to be honest. | |

| Ok - the penny has eventually dropped on this. I did buy it from Eric - who is also on this forum (CatsFan - albeit, I haven't seen him posting for a while.) I knew I recognised his eBay ID from somewhere - I'd checked out his listing previously when he was selling a bunch of Seahawks gamers / pants.
Anyway, going to be holding on to this for a while, until we move into a house with a man cave. This will be taking it's pride of place there. Now for some more gamers... | |
