- Reebok labels and NFL Equipment branding on jerseys and sideline gear from 2002, and on a few teams' jerseys from 2001.
- Pro Player tags stop by 2001, when the brand was liquidated. Original Starter-company pieces predate its 1999 bankruptcy.
- The NFL shield: the 2008 redesign cut the stars from 25 to eight and changed the lettering, so an eight-star shield means 2008 or later.
- Match the maker to the years. A Reebok jersey dates to 2001 or later, while Starter, Russell and Champion NFL jerseys are generally 2000 or earlier.
- Confirm the player's years with that team. A jersey for a season he never played there is a later product or a custom.

How can I tell a 2000s Jets jersey is original and not a modern reissue?
Start with the tag: the maker and the country of manufacture should fit the 2000s, and a licensed piece usually names the NFL or the team on a label. Then check that the logo, wordmark and colors match what the Jets used in those years. Modern retro and throwback lines copy old graphics but use current tags, so a tag photo settles most questions.
Why does this page mention Pennington?
Pennington wore #10 in the Play to Win years (2000–2009). Herm Edwards' 'you play to win the game,' a year of Favre, and Rex Ryan's first team in the '09 AFC title game. Player numbers and names from a team's best-known years are the ones most often printed and sewn on fan gear, so they turn up most in secondhand listings.
How does a vintage jersey fit?
Jersey cuts changed over the decades and sizing varies by maker; some jerseys, including many throwbacks, use numeric sizes (such as 44 or 48) rather than S to XL. Ignore the tag and compare the seller's pit-to-pit and length measurements with a jersey you own.
