This is an incredible piece of true athletic history! 1950’s men’s Russell Southern Co. football jersey in that classic deep varsity blue, worn-in and perfectly faded! Made from cotton, the jersey features three-quarter sleeves with original reinforced elbow patches, a hallmark of early football garments built for durability on the field. The neckline has the double-stitched bound crew collar, and the seams, stitching, and construction throughout reflect the heavy-duty quality Russell Southern was known for in this era! The standout is the original appliqué number 0 on front & back. They are aged, cracked, and wonderfully distressed, giving it that authentic mid-century team-issued look. The jersey shows scattered paint specks, wear, and small holes that add to its raw, lived-in character. The original Russell Southern tag remains at the hem, soft and faded but still readable, confirming its 1950s production. The fit is slim and long, as these early athletic jerseys were designed to be tucked into pads and gear!
Measurements: Chest 36”, Waist 35”, Shoulder 19”, Sleeve 17”, Shoulder to Hem 25.5”
