Winning a Superbowl is the dream of every NFL player and walking away with a few mementos from the big game are a great bonus as well. Game worn Superbowl jerseys are considered as divine objects in the sporting world because of their significance and historical value, so imagine how much a game-worn Tom Brady jersey from Superbowl 51 is worth.
Tom Brady jerseys have long been one of the top selling pieces of merchandise in the National Football League, but now not even the man himself has any idea where his Superbowl 51 jersey is. According to The New York Times, Brady's jersey went missing after he took it off in the locker room after Sunday's game. By the next day, no one had any idea where his uniform was.
Houston Police's major offender division is currently working with NFL Security along with other state and local agencies as they investigate further into the incident. Per USA Today Sports, NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy confirmed via email that the league was working with local authorities towards the "disappointing matter."
This confirmation came hours after Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick asked Texas Rangers (not the baseball team) to investigate the case of Brady's missing jersey. The jersey has still not been located as of this writing.
The list of potential suspects behind the missing Tom Brady Superbowl jersey is pretty lengthy. Teammates, coaches, team and league staff members, family members, media members, law enforcement officers, and even gate crashers can all be labeled as potential suspects.
More than a hundred people were crowding in the New England Patriots locker room shortly after their historical come-from-behind win against the Atlanta Falcons in Superbowl 51. Brady says he put his jersey in one of his bags, but he realized only moments later that it was no longer there. "Those are pretty special ones to keep, but what can you do", Brady told reporters.
