Jim Otto signed Raiders Black Prostyle Jersey HOF 80

After no National Football League team showed interest in the undersized center, Jim Otto signed with the Oakland Raiders of the new American Football League. He was issued jersey number 50 for the AFL's inaugural season, 1960, but switched to his familiar 00 the next season. The AFL permitted the unusual number because it was a pun on Otto's name (aught-oh). Otto was one of only 20 players to play for the entire ten-year existence of the American Football League, and was selected as the Sporting News All-League center from 1960 through 1969. He was an All-Star in the first 13 of his 15 seasons (every year in the AFL from 1960 through 1969) and three of his five seasons in the NFL. He was also named the starting center on the AFL All-Time Team. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980. Jim Otto has signed this Raiders Black Prostyle Jersey with HOF 80 inscription. NSD Hologram and Certificate of Authenticity from Athlon Sports.
