Rugby League Jersey Appraisal

Framed Autographed 1978 Australian Kangaroos Rugby League Tour Jersey

This is a significant piece of sporting memorabilia featuring a commemorative 1978 Australian Kangaroos Rugby League tour jersey. The garment is a short-sleeved polo-style jersey made of heavy-knit cotton or a synthetic blend, showcasing the iconic green body with prominent double gold 'V' chevrons on the chest and a matching gold collar and sleeve cuffs. Centered on the left breast is the detailed Australian Rugby League crest featuring an embroidered coat of arms with the kangaroo and emu. The lower torso of the jersey is densely covered in authentic hand-signed autographs from the squad in silver-tone ink. The jersey is professionally mounted within a deep shadow-box frame. The matting is a dark burgundy or black charcoal tone and is printed with the full roster of names on either side, including legends like Bob Fulton, Les Boyd, and Steve Rogers. At the bottom, a full-color photograph of the 1978 touring squad is embedded, along with text identifying it as the '14th Tour of Britain and France.' The display appears to be in excellent condition, with the frame showing minimal wear and the jersey's colors remaining vibrant, though there is a Slight reflection on the protective glass. The signatures appear legible and well-preserved against the dark fabric.
