| The 1969 New York Jets were a team for the ages. They finished the regular season with an 11-3 record and beat the Raiders 27-23 in the AFL Championship game. The Jets went into Super Bowl III with a number of offensive weapons to go along with Joe Namath including fellow Hall of Famer Don Maynard, George Sauer, Matt Snell, and Emerson Boozer. Despite being 18-point underdogs to the NFL champion Colts, the Jets had the utmost confidence, especially Namath who boldly predicted “We’re gonna win the game. I guarantee it.” The Jets went on to win Super Bowl III 16-7; it was the first victory for the AFL. This Mitchell and Ness Joe Namath jersey has been hand signed by 24 members of the 1969 NY Jets team including: Al Atkinson, Bill Baird, Ralph Baker, Randy Beverly, Emerson Boozer, John Elliot, Cornell Gordon, James Grantham, Dave Herman, Winston Hill, Jim Hudson, John Curley Johnson, Pete Lammons, Bill Mathis, Don Maynard, Carl McAdams, Joe Namath, Gerry Philbin, Randy Rasmussen, Paul Rochester, John Schmitt, Matt Snell, Bob Talamani, and Bake Turner. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included. |
