Hines Ward Autograph Appraisal

Signed Hines Ward Pittsburgh Steelers Away Jersey

This is a white, short-sleeved replica or 'custom' style Pittsburgh Steelers away jersey, featuring the name 'WARD' and the number '86' of wide receiver Hines Ward. The garment is constructed from a combination of solid synthetic fabric on the shoulders and mesh fabric on the main body to mimic professional athletic wear. The player's name is heat-pressed or sewn in yellow block lettering with a black border onto a white nameplate. The number '86' appears on the back in large black tackle twill, with smaller versions of the number visible on the sleeves. A signature, presumably of Hines Ward, is located on the back inside the vertical stroke of the digit '6,' rendered in black permanent marker. At the bottom of the '6,' a small holographic authentication sticker is visible, which is standard for verified sports memorabilia to ensure the legitimacy of the autograph. The jersey features the iconic Steelers sleeve stripes in yellow and white. The overall condition appears to be excellent with no visible snags, staining, or fading to the fabric or the signature. This piece represents the era of the early to mid-2000s when Hines Ward was a prominent figure in the NFL.
