DESCRIPTION:

USC Trojans #47 "MATTHEWS" — Nike TEAM, Made in Korea, Size XL / 52. Pre-customization Nike program stock.

This is a Nike TEAM Korea-production jersey — the highest tier in Nike's college football manufacturing hierarchy — bearing the "Engineered to the Exact Specifications of Championship Athletes" designation on the side tag. The NAME/# field on that side tag is blank, confirming this jersey was manufactured as authentic Nike program-issued stock before the MATTHEWS #47 customization was applied. This is not a retail replica built to approximate team aesthetics; it is the actual base jersey used in program inventory, customized for roster wear.

Construction: All-cardinal red perforated mesh body throughout (front and back). Interlocked "SC" USC logo embroidered at upper center chest. Gold/yellow Nike Swoosh embroidered on right chest. #47 in gold/yellow tackle twillon front and back. "MATTHEWS" nameplate in gold/yellow tackle twill on upper back. Gold/yellow horizontal stripe band across upper sleeve/shoulder junction on both sleeves. Crew-style collar with black interior band. Size 52 / XL — extended cut.

On the side tag: Nike TEAM / 52 / "Engineered to the Exact Specifications of Championship Athletes" / NAME/# blank / AUTHENTIC. This tag sequence is the definitive marker for genuine Nike TEAM program production in the 2005–2012 era.

Clay Matthews III, USC Trojans #47, 2005–2008: Matthews came to USC as part of a football dynasty — grandson of Clay Matthews Sr., son of Clay Matthews Jr. (Cleveland Browns). At USC he played linebacker, wearing #47, during one of the program's most dominant eras. The Green Bay Packers selected him 26th overall in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He went on to earn 6 Pro Bowl selections (2009–2014), two First-Team All-Pro nods, and a Super Bowl XLV ring. His #47 USC jersey bridges two collector markets: USC Trojans fans and Green Bay Packers / Clay Matthews collectors.

Condition: Pre-owned / Good. Red mesh body and numbers appear clean. Minor seam/thread fray at upper left collar attachment point — visible in photos; discloses as-is at that point. Loose threads at lower hem. Review all photos carefully before purchasing.
