In the pantheon of Auburn Tigers football, two names stand above the rest as pillars of excellence: Bo Jackson and Pat Sullivan. This Bo Jackson Auburn Football “IN MEMORY OF SULLIVAN 7” Football Jersey is more than just team apparel; it is a powerful symbol of brotherhood, legacy, and the deep respect between two Heisman Trophy winners. This limited-edition piece captures the emotional moment when Bo Jackson, the greatest athlete of his generation, donned the number 7 to honor the memory of Pat Sullivan, the man who first put Auburn quarterbacks on the map.

Pat Sullivan, who passed away on December 1, 2019, was Auburn’s first Heisman winner in 1971, paving the way for future legends like Jackson. This jersey immortalizes the bond between these two icons, offering fans a unique way to celebrate the rich history of Jordan-Hare Stadium and the men who built it.

Unique Design: The 34 Front, The 7 Back

This commemorative football jersey features a rare and meaningful dual-number design that tells a story of reverence.

• The Front: The front of the jersey proudly displays the iconic number 34, synonymous with Bo Jackson’s explosive 1985 Heisman season where he rushed for 1,786 yards. It features the classic Auburn navy blue base, the SEC patch, and the “AUBURN” wordmark, keeping the look authentic to Bo’s playing days.

• The Back: The back of the jersey shifts the focus to tribute. Instead of Jackson’s name and number, it features the number 7, worn by Pat Sullivan during his legendary career. The nameplate reads “IN MEMORY OF SULLIVAN”, creating a solemn and striking statement.

• The Roster Tribute: Beneath the number 7, the jersey features a detailed list of names printed in white. These names represent the teammates and key figures from the 1971 era, including legendary receiver Terry Beasley (listed as V. BEASLEY), Sullivan’s favorite target. This intricate detail transforms the jersey into a wearable history lesson of the 1971 undefeated regular season team.

Honoring the 1971 Heisman Legacy

Wearing this jersey is a nod to the “Auburn Man” spirit. Pat Sullivan was not just a quarterback; he was a leader who led the Tigers to a 26-7 record over his career. Bo Jackson, who arrived at Auburn in 1982, grew up seeing Sullivan’s number 7 retired and enshrined, understanding the weight of the legacy he was stepping into. By wearing this jersey, you are celebrating the lineage of greatness that connects the 1971 team to the 1985 team and beyond. It is a must-have for collectors of NCAA football memorabilia who value the stories behind the stats.

Premium Comfort and Durability

Constructed for both the avid collector and the game-day regular, this jersey is made from high-quality polyester mesh. The fabric is engineered with moisture-wicking technology, designed to keep you cool and dry whether you are cheering under the scorching Alabama sun or framing the jersey for a display room. The graphics, including the intricate list of names on the lower back, are applied using advanced printing techniques to ensure they remain crisp and legible without peeling or fading over time. The reinforced stitching ensures the jersey holds its shape, providing a comfortable, relaxed fit suitable for all sizes.
