GALE SAYERS
Replica Kansas Jayhawks jersey with red shoulder stars, signed on the back number by
Hall of Famer Gale Sayers with his nickname "Kansas Comet"
Jersey signed "Gale Sayers/Kansas Comet" on large number eight on back. Xavier Prolineextra-large polyester replica Kansas Jayhawks jersey with sewn white letters and red appliquéd
shoulder stars. Twice an All-American at Kansas University, Hall of Famer Sayers played
seven seasons with the Chicago Bears. In his first season alone, Gale scored 22
touchdowns and 132 points, both then-rookie records. Quiet, unassuming, and always
ready to compliment a teammate for a key block, Sayers continued to sizzle in 1967 and well
into the 1968 season. Then, in the ninth game, Sayers suffered a knee injury that required
immediate surgery. After a tortuous rehabilitation program, Gale came back in 1969 in a
most spectacular manner, winding up with his second 1,000-yard rushing season and
universal Comeback of the Year honors. But injuries continued to take their toll and, just
before the 1972 season, Gale finally had to call it quits. In his relatively short career, he
compiled a record that can never be forgotten. His totals show 9,435 combined net yards,
4,956 yards rushing, and 336 points scored. At the time of his retirement he was the
NFL's all-time leader in kickoff returns. He won All-NFL honors five straight years and
was named Offensive Player of the Game in three of the four Pro Bowls in which he
played. Lightly creased. Signature has bled lightly but is legible. Otherwise in fine condition.
