Jim Langer Personally Owned & Worn 1987 HOF Gold Jacket :: Worn by Langer During His HOF Induction Speech! (Jim Langer LOA)

Bidding

Jim Langer joined the Miami Dolphins as a free agent in 1970, stayed with the club for 10 years through the 1979 season and then wound up his career with the Minnesota Vikings in 1980 and 1981. In his decade with the Dolphins, Jim developed from an obscure substitute to one of the finest centers ever to play. Langer was named first-team All-Pro four times and All-AFC five straight years from 1973 to 1977 and was also picked for the Pro Bowl six straight times. During that period, he started in three AFC championship games and Super Bowls VI, VII and VIII. For two years, he saw only limited action as a guard and a special teams player. But In 1972, he switched to center, won the starting job and wound up playing every offensive down in Miami's perfect season.

Offered here is a spectacular piece of memorabilia from Langer's legendary career. This Imperial by Haggar gold blazer was presented to Jim Langer at the Pro Football Hall of Famer Induction Ceremony in Canton, OH in 1987 and was worn by Langer throughout the festivities, including as he gave his induction speech to the crowd of fellow legends. This jacket stayed in Mr. Langer's possession for decades after the historic event until being sold by him to a private collector. Accompanying the jacket is a handwritten Letter of Provenance from Langer himself attesting to the jacket's significance. Rarely do these Gold Jackets come to the market. Don't miss an opportunity to own an amazing piece of football history!
