As a rookie, Jim Brown reported to training camp late because he participated in the rookie All-star game. When he arrived at camp, some other rookie already had #32, so Jim was issued #45 and wore it in the Browns 1st preseason game against the Det. Lions

That same rookie year, he made the Pro Bowl, and again, someone was already issued #32, so Jim took the # 6

It may be my old eyes, but the central cut out portion of the "6" red jersey looks shorter/ less rectangular than the same portion on the photo of Brown in the Pro Bowl jersey. Also, the inside corner edges look more angled on the physical jersey as opposed to the one in the photo. Don't me it as a slight to the jersey, collection or owner, just what I am seeing.

Amazing football content and display from perhaps the greatest football player ever. Museum worthy.

Love it...
