Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Champions Full-Zip Hoodie

This item is a navy blue full-zip hooded sweatshirt, likely made from a cotton-blend fleece material, characteristic of athletic wear. The main color is a dark navy blue, accented with white details. The hoodie features a large 'NFL' logo tag stitched into the inner collar area, indicating it is officially licensed merchandise. The front of the hoodie on the left chest displays 'SUPER BOWL' in white text arched above a large white outlined star, with 'CHAMPIONS' in smaller white text below the star, signifying the Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl victories. A prominent design element is the collection of years '95, '93, '92, '77' vertically stacked in large white embroidered or appliqué numbers down the length of the left sleeve, presumably representing the years the Cowboys won Super Bowls. The right sleeve is adorned with multiple embroidered patches, each commemorating a different Super Bowl, including 'Super Bowl XXX', 'Super Bowl XXVIII', 'Super Bowl XXVII', and potentially others partially visible. Some patches exhibit vibrant colors such as red, orange, yellow, and light blue. White piping outlines parts of the body and sleeves, giving it a sporty, segmented look. The cuffs and hem are ribbed, featuring white stripes against the navy background. The hoodie has a full-length metal or plastic zipper closure on the front, and adjustable drawstrings with cord locks for the hood, suggesting good craftsmanship for durability and comfort. The overall condition appears to be good with no obvious major damage, tears, or significant fading, though some minor pilling or wear consistent with age and use might be present. This garment likely dates from the late 1990s or early 2000s, given the Super Bowl wins represented and the style of the design, although it could also be a commemorative item produced more recently. The quality of the embroidery and appliqué suggests a well-made licensed product.
