1970-73 Glen Holloway Chicago Bears Game Worn Durene Jersey w/ 3 Team Repairs Last Player to Wear #61 (MEARS A10 )

Glen Holloway anchored the Bears offensive line in the 1970s and served as team captain for four years. In fact, Holloway was the last player to wear #61 for the Bears. The number was retired in honor of Bill George.

He was also an ample kickoff return specialist. Holloway took one kickoff for a robust 28 yards in 1972. This Wilson-made jersey was worn by Holloway when he plied his trade in the 1970s. Decent use is exhibited on the pullover garment with a sizable 5" repair near the front "6" numeral. Two more team repairs are found on the left sleeve end. All of the identifiers are created in two-color tackle twill.

"HOLLOWAY" is correctly spaced across the verso (2 1/2") and placed to a nameplate. Embedded sleeve striping, 3/4 length sleeves and elbow reinforcements all add to the aesthetics.

A lone Wilson tag (no size indicated) resides in the tail. The jersey measures to a size "48". Graded a perfect MEARS A10.
