It’s one thing to auction off a game-used jersey from one of the most notable players in Packers history. It’s an entirely different thing to claim that the jersey actually rewrites that history.
But that’s what’s going on right now at Heritage Auctions, where the venerable sports memorabilia company is selling a jersey from Paul Hornung’s rookie season — a jersey they describe as being black, rather than the Packers famous green or historic blue.
Speaking with the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Heritage consignment director Tony Giese says after examining the jersey, he believes it’s definitely black, which would obviosly be a significant development.
