Is this a game worn jersey?

[LARams_1963]

I was just at a local Savers thrift store and saw this Rams Sammy Watkins jersey. It's autographed and looking at the way it's tailored and being an "On Field" jersey, I'm really thinking that it's a legit game worn or at the very least an authentic jersey of his that he gave to someone. They wanted $155 for it. I didn't ask if they had any kind of Authentication. What say you?

$155? Do they know that he sucks? Lol

Do game day jerseys have the elastic waist band? Also I was told the NFL shield should have 3 rows of 8 stars vs a smaller number of stars.

Except for the pre-season (maybe), I'm not sure the Rams wore that jersey in 2017; and that was the only season Sammy Watkins was with the Rams.

Also, I remember hating that pointed blue collar on the front; and I am not sure it was on the 2017 uniform.

I believe it was there in 2016 (the first season back in Los Angeles) but ... again ... Watkins was not on the Rams in 2016.

Could be wrong.

Yes, that's my point Train.

That's why I questioned whether it is a legit 'game-worn' jersey.

If the Rams did not wear that jersey in 2017, it's not legitimate because 2017 was Watkins' only year with the Rams.

Here's Goff and Havenstein from the 2017 season.

Here's a 2017 Texans game worn jersey with the elastic.

And, I don't see that ugly, goofy pointed blue collar on the front. So that would mean the OP's picture/question is not a game-worn 2017 jersey (Sammy Watkins' year with the Rams).

They're using the 2016 collar, not the 2017 one, so I doubt it's game worn. It could be something he signed when he first came to the team.

Looking at other pictures I think the shield looks correct

Yeah, this makes the most sense. Guess in the offseason when we acquired him the '16 style was still in. It probably changed May-July that year? So, not game worn, but a legit game jersey (2016 prior to change)
