Presented is one of only two known 1930s Detroit Lions sideline jackets with the other one known residing in the Hall of Fame. The rare jacket remains in impeccable condition given its age and presents beautifully. This heavy wool jacket style was worn by the 1935 Lions championship team. Featured on the front is a chenille Lions team logo with a player and the number “28” embroidered in chain stitching. The front of the jacket features two pockets. On the back is the player number “28” in large white felt numbering with a zippered hood. Inside beneath the collar is the Lamb Knit manufacturer’s tag reading “100% PURE WOOL”. This jacket was worn by either Vin Schleusner or Bill Radovich and remains in outstanding condition.
