Only two years after he retired, Carl Ekern was gone. The former Rams linebacker died in a traffic accident in 1990. This size “50” pullover mesh garment was worn by Ekern between 1986-88. At least 11 team instituted repairs are captured on the mesh shoulders/ram stripes. All of the numbers are heat pressed and show signs of gridiron contact. Triangular inserts are fitted under the arms for added comfort. Sewn in the tail is a Rams exclusivity label and Sand Knit size (“6” written in black marker meaning it was worn in 1986) tag. Both labels show decent overall use.
