Classic shoulder-yoke football jersey with ribbed collar and sleeve cuffs.

Shows original gold flocked “LAURIE” lettering and the rectangular heat-press platen impression is still faintly visible in the fabric around the name. This subtle “ghost” imprint is an authentic period detail left from the original customization process decades ago.
