1994Patriots Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Check out this jersey on eBay...it's not an isolated incident either, as I have come across these at least four or five times...http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....y=15687Maybe some wishful thinking on the 49ers behalf to get the local Super Bowl XXXVI MVP on their team? You decide lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1994Patriots Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 I think what may have happened is this:Both the 49ers and Pats wore throwbacks during the same week in 2002 (for the NFL Thanksgiving Classics games; the Pats on Turkey Day, the Niners on the MNF before Thanksgiving). Both teams released replica throwback jerseys that year of the jerseys worn in each game.Bottom line, I think someone at Reebok printed a number of "Brady 12" prints on blank 49ers throwbacks.Notice how there isn't a 49ers logo on the sleeves ,instead, just the "candy cane" stripes of the Montana-era jerseys. The blue border of the numbers "keeps" this from becoming an all-out Brady 49ers throwback jersey. (save the sleeve numbers)There also isn't the blue and white shoulder stripes, which would be present on a Pats throwback jersey. I just think it's a funny mix-up...it's obviously a 49ers throwback jersey with Brady's (who is from San Mateo, CA, and was a big Niners fan when he was a kid) name and number on it.
