1989-90 Mike Haynes Game Worn Jersey Raiders – COA MEARS 10

This exceptional piece of sports memorabilia is a game-worn home jersey belonging to Mike Haynes of the Los Angeles Raiders, dating from the 1983-1989 period. Crafted by Macgregor Sand knit with the exclusively tagging in the collar, the black mesh jersey is a size 42 pullover, prominently displaying HAYNES in silver across the back on a black nameplate, while his iconic number 22 is featured in silver tackle twill on the front, back, and both sleeves. The jersey exhibits moderate wear and puckering consistent with its use during competitive play, and all tagging and sizing conform to exemplars from that era. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from MEARS.

Provenance means everything to gamers, and for this Mike Haynes gamer, it comes directly from the longtime equipment manager, Mr. Bob Romanski.  It was gifted to Mr. Romanski’s wife’s long time friend who’s husband also worked for the Raiders as the premiere Videographer for many years.  The Videographer, is mentioned many times in the history of the Raiders, including Greg Papas’ farewell speech to the Raider Fans.  The videographer is mentioned at the end of the speech.  The jersey has not seen the light of day since it was gifted back in the late 80’s.    The use on the jersey is incredible and is certainly one of the most amazing game-worn Raiders jerseys we have seen in decades and that is why it has been deemed a Mears 10 on authentication.
