Phil Simms Autographed Commemorative Football

This item is an official-sized American football, likely made of composite leather or a similar durable synthetic material, designed to commemorate former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms. Its primary colors are characteristic red and 'rawhide' (off-white/natural leather tone), mimicking the two-panel color scheme of many collectible footballs. One prominent side of the football features a large, off-white panel on which various career statistics and biographical information about Phil Simms are printed in black text. Notable details include 'PHIL SIMMS', 'QUARTERBACK NEW YORK GIANTS', 'MVP in Super Bowl XXI and 1986 Pro Bowl', and 'Has passed for over 30,000 yards'. A small table of statistics is also visible, showing 'TDS' and 'RATING' with values '199' and '79.7' respectively, though the other columns are partially obscured. Below this printed information, there is a visible autograph, likely in gold or metallic ink, which appears to be the authentic signature of Phil Simms itself. The red panel of the football prominently displays the 'GIANTS' logo in white text on a blue background, consistent with the New York Giants' branding. The football appears to be in overall good condition with no significant signs of disfigurement or damage, although some minor surface wear or scuffs might be present given the texture visible. The quality of the printing is clear and crisp, suggesting a professionally manufactured commemorative item rather than a custom-made piece. The material and construction appear standard for a collectible football of this type. This item likely dates from the post-career era of Phil Simms, after his retirement (1993), as it summarizes his entire career statistics and achievements. The exact vintage would depend on the specific production run but is well within the late 20th to early 21st century.
