** SOLD PRIVATELY **

Nicknamed "Mad Dog" because of his intensity, Dwight White became a two-time Pro Bowl defensive end. He’s often remembered for spending much of the week leading up to Super Bowl IX in a hospital, suffering from pneumonia; he lost 20 pounds and was not expected to play in the game. However, he did play and accounted for the only scoring in the first half when he sacked Fran Tarkenton in the end zone for a safety — the first points in Steelers' history in a championship game Originally sourced from White directly, this circa 1973 Pro-Bowl game worn jersey is simply incredible. Rawlings size 52 white “American” jersey is completely original and still retains its “6” longer” and “Wm. Fredricks” tags on the front tail. High quality all sewn on lettering and numbering is remarkable and features “AMERICAN” across the front, “WHITE” across the back and the number “86” is found on the front, back and both shoulders. Shows nice use for a Pro Bowl jersey with some staining and paint transfers noticed. Upon closer inspection you’ll notice that White uniquely signed the back number and inscribed "My Pro Bowl Jersey." Unique in every way, this outstanding uniform has a tremendous overall appearance and comes from one of the greatest players to ever wear a Steelers uniform; according to Dan Rooney.
