Flaws: This genuine 1990 championship piece shows beautiful vintage character and natural aging:
Even fabric fading across the black base, which has settled into an authentic dark charcoal / faded black tone (visible in full layout file 1000540445.jpg).
Light, natural texture cracking across the screen-printed championship crest graphic, typical for 35+ year old plastisol ink (visible in file 1000540445.jpg).
General wash wear, mild fabric fuzzing/pilling to the poly-cotton blend, and a slightly curled edge on the interior neck label (visible in file 1000540417.jpg).
No holes, rips, tears, or major accidental stains are present on the garment.
