This game-worn jersey form the late 1980s was donned by Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Brian Blankenship, who spent all five years of his NFL career in the Steel City, with his claim to fame coming in 1987 when he ripped off Brian Bozworth's rat-tail during a game. The jersey is in the classic Steelers home style, with a white number "60" sewn on the front, back, and both shoulders. "Blankenship" appears stitched in gold on the back on a name plate. The jersey shows incredible use with 20 team repairs, as well as pilling and grass stains. It has a custom tail added to the bottom and the sleeves near the shoulders were sewn to make the sleeves tighter. There is no year tag due to the custom tail.
