Wallets with game used Michigan uniform inside

Submitted by Blue and Joe on

I was reading Uni-Watch this morning and they wrote about these wallets that have pieces of game used uniforms inside. Sure enough, they have a Michigan collection. You can get a piece of football or basketball uniform. The site also has cuff links with game worn materials. Pretty cool stuff, but as you'd expect, very expesnive.

The wallets don't do a lot for me, but the cuff links are all pretty cool. That's more than I can see myself paying, but can see it given that you could have them your entire life. (And I wear a suit often, so they'd get use.)

Hah, what is this, 1990.

Everybody has phone clip card carrying devices now.  I didn't even know they made wallets anymore.

NO!  Don't dumb it down.  You can't ruin the best sarcasm, by making it clearly visible to the least common denominator.

Because the NCAA is careful not to allow any profit off a player's likeness. If you sell a UTL Adidas jersey that's #16 Denard's lawyer might argue Denard is entitled to part of the proceeds of that sale assuming the jersey can be authenticated. However cut that jersey up into wallet pieces and lose track of which jersey's were used it sure isn't the player's likeness making you buy.



I learned this from an authenticator I asked about my Michigan helmet cufflinks.

My wife bought one of these for me as a gift a few years back. I was actually really pleased with it as a wallet (as opposed to just memorabilia) - it was good quality, well-made, great size, stayed very flat even when full, etc. And I appreciated the subtlety of the jersey on the inside. It was a nice flash of M every time I went to take out cash or a card, but not super in your face.

Sadly, it was stolen last year in a mugging, and now the football jersey ones are indefinitely out of stock so I can't even replace it. Still kinda bummed.
