A white “32” is sewn on the front and back, with smaller versions of the numbers on the right and left sleeves, close to the shoulder. Circling the sleeves at the elbow is a white stripe with two burnt orange horizontal lines in the middle. “Jim Brown” is written in black ink on the bottom of the number "2" on the front of the jersey. A brown flap hangs off the middle back of the jersey. The flap has two rows of six black plastic buttons. On the other side of the flap are three button holes. A white tag with blue and black type is attached to the interior right sleeve. The rag reads “MEARS / Memorabilia Evaluation and Research Services” at the top and is dated “01/2014.” Next to the date is "Photography / Archiving.” The tag is not original to the object.
