For eight years, Karl Swanke protected the quarterback on a weekly basis. He saw some of the best offensive football as Lynn Dickey picked apart offenses.
This size "52" durene jersey was worn by Swanke in the mid '80s given the Packer G and Sand Knit tags.
Outstanding use is exhibited with at least 14 team repairs on the shoulders. Each of the numbers is screened on and has suffered some cracking (as have the sleeve stripes) from use and launderings administered.
Eyelet holes are established on the underarms for a tighter feeling and to prevent holding. The nameplate has been removed.
Sewn in the tail is a Packers exclusivity tag and size label as well.
