Tiki Barber Game Jersey Giants Used For NFL Films

This item is from Phil Tuckett’s personal collection.  It took several decades within his career to amass these rare collectibles at events. The highlight is that it includes autographs of the most prominent entertainers, historical figures, and sports players Tuckett met along the way.

One of the most prolific New York Giants running backs of all time, Tiki Barber is a member of the 10,000 Rushing Yards Club, a three-time Pro Bowler and is enshrined on the prestigious New York Giants “Ring of Honor”.

Presented from Tuckett is a this Tiki Barber authentic game style New York Giants jersey (2001) . These type of jerseys from Tuckett’s collection were worn or used during NFL film broadcasting and interviews. To capture the video realism they are authentic to the style that players wore on the field. On this Reebok one, all the cherry red tackle twill numerals “21” with blue outlines are sewn on.  “BARBER” is sewn on the back nameplate in single blue tackle twill. The “Reebok [size] 50, 4″ L.B.” tag is sewn in the tail.

Phil Tuckett suited up for a single game for the San Diego Chargers in 1968, and his time as a professional football player consisted of a year-and-a-half spent mostly on the Chargers practice squad. One might surmise that Tuckett’s contribution to professional football was minimal, and they would be correct, until taking into consideration that after retiring as a player Tuckett spent the next 38 years working for NFL films. Tuckett won 30 individual Emmy Awards in 30 years while with NFL films documenting the NFL. Of particular note, Tuckett worked directly with Ed Sabol, the man who started and was a huge part of  NFL Films.
