The identification included details such as the jersey’s mesh-hole pattern and loose threads that could be seen in photographs from the contest.The jersey also showed signs of actual game use, including sweat staining around the collar. However, it did not have turf or dirt marks, which fits with the fact that Mahomes was not sacked or hit during the game. This detail helps distinguish the jersey’s physical condition from memorabilia that shows visible contact with the field.The jersey featured Mahomes’ No. 15, his name on the back, and the AFC and Lamar Hunt patches.
