Style: Issued as the white durene road shirt. Crew collar with metered ribbed neck. Straight cut tail. ¾
hemmed sleeves with brown/orange/brown/orange/brown striping. “82” is single brown serif tackle
twill found on front and back. The sleeve has single brown tackle twill numbering, non-serif. Shirt is
consistent with available images.
Dating: Per the style of the Medalist tag, the shirt dates to the 1985-87 era.
Supplier (Medalist): By comparison to the official MEARS tagging database, the style of the Medalist
Sand Knit tag is consistent with examples supplied by the company during the 1985-87 era.
Size 46: Comparison of the actual measurement of the shirt was verified as being correct to the tagged
size. With respect to size 46, examples reviewed by MEARS confirm the size as correct for Newsome
during the era.
Wear: Shirt exhibits moderate game wear. Some light staining to the area of the shoulders.
Restoration: The nameplate has been restored as evidenced by the original stitch pattern which can be
seen via an internal examination of the shirt and review with a light table. For the era the shirt was
issued, 1985-87, Newsome was the only player issued #82, so we feel the shirt was only issued to him.
Final Grade MEARS A7: Based on the replacement of the nameplate, 3 points were subtracted. (81I0196)
