A most beautifully constructed wool sweater, this hails from another gentler time when form and function came together to create a perfect symbol of the sport of Football. This classic piece is from the collection of the granddaughter of Otto Graham, who took perfect care of her grandfather's memorabilia and it comes with a notarized signed Letter of Authenticity. From 1943, when Graham was at the beginning of his career for the Northwestern Wildcats football team. A large textile patch gives the sweater a patriotic look from the WWII era. Silk tag reads "All Wool Catalina selected the official sweater All American Board of Football Catalina Knitting Mills Los Angeles." Ultimately, Otto Graham played for the Cleveland Browns and is regarded as one of the most dominant players of his era, the sweater is in NRMT condition.
