Description
A red, white, and black NFL Atlanta Falcons jersey with a "HOT TUB" nameplate on the back worn by Big Boi of Outkast. The short-sleeved jersey has a V-neck collar with a panel of black fabric inserted at interior of the garment at the point of the V and a white shield-shaped patch sewn to it with the NFL logo below the word "EQUIPMENT." The body is made from red perforated nylon and polyester blend fabric. The side panels of the jersey and the sleeves are also made from the fabric blend, but are solid instead of perforated. The sleeves have red panels across the shoulder, with a white panel, and then a black panel at the underarm portion. They are trimmed in black fabric as well, as is the neck opening. The number "81" is embroidered in white with black borders at the center front chest, the center back shoulders, and across the tops of both shoulders. The word "FALCONS" is embroidered above the center front number in white. A red nameplate is sewn across the upper back with letters in white with black borders sewn to it that read "HOT TUB". An embroidered patch with the Atlanta Falcons mascot is sewn on each sleeve. The Reebok logo is embroidered in white on each sleeve just below the shoulder seam. A blue, gray, and red manufacturer's label is sewn at the proper left front side near the hem.
The jersey is not lined. Two (2) manufacturer's labels are sewn at the interior center back neck with style, fiber content, and size information. A gray ribbon with darker gray printed text repeating the NFL shield logo and "NFL EQUIPMENT" is sewn across the interior back neck.
