This jersey came with a family Syracuse provenance.
Handmade rather than factory manufactured it has no label and pre-dates most
other football jerseys we have seen. The script S in our experience normally
dates a period jersey to 1886, plus or minus, which we believe to be the case here. This
jersey was worn before Syracuse officially had a school team in 1889 and well
before their official block S appeared on their jerseys. This jersey would have
been worn in the rugby football intramural contests that were common at
Syracuse at the time. |
