At 5-11 and 255 pounds, The Bus was a six-time Pro Bowl selection for two different teams, Super Bowl champion, and 2015 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee.
Road white jersey has mesh body, nylon-knit shoulders, and black/gold/white cotton-durene sleeves, with elasticized sleeve cuffs. “36” appears on the front/back/sleeves, all sewn-on in black tackle twill, with “Bettis” in gold/black tackle twill sewn onto the verso nameplate. Patches include Steelers logo on the left chest, the NFL shield at the v-neck, and Nike logos on the sleeves. Tagging in the tail includes a “Nike 46” label and a white nylon swatch with “00-44” stamped in black. Custom tailored specifically for Bettis, the jersey measures an incredible 42” from collar to tail. Exhibits tremendous wear from multiple games, including at least FIFTEEN TEAM REPAIRS (all where they should be) on the shoulders/sleeves/back.
This is what real NFL game wear looks like and it serves as tangible evidence of the incredible degree of physicality of the pro game. Comes with a letter of provenance from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
