A Santos FC football jersey game worn by Pelé on February 2, 1971, while playing against Chelsea FC in the Triangular Tournament of Kingston in Kingston, Jamaica. The white jersey features an elastic collar and arm cuffs, with Brazilian manufacturer Athleta tag stitched into the back collar. Stitched into the upper left chest is a Santos FC team crest with three gold stars above. Two of the gold stars represent Santos FC's victories in the 1962 and 1963 Intercontinental Cup. A rare third star has been added to this jersey, as was added to Santos FC jerseys in late 1969, to commemorate Santos' victory in the Super Cup of Intercontinental Champions in July 1968. Santos jerseys with three stars were used in games from late 1969 to mid-1972, and they were only used when Santos played international teams, not other Brazilian club teams. Stitched into the back of the jersey is Pelé's uniform number 10 in black canvas lettering. The front of the jersey is signed and inscribed by Pelé in black ink. The jersey is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from JSA for the signature. Categories:
