Elvis Presley Football Jumpsuit Worn by "Memphis Mafia" Member....

Description

Elvis Presley Football Jumpsuit Worn by "Memphis Mafia" Member. Whenever Elvis and his entourage, the "Memphis Mafia", had spare time, they would often play a friendly game of football. Elvis purchased dime-store jumpsuits such as this one for him and his friends to wear during games, and later started providing uniforms for everybody. This particular jumpsuit was given by Elvis to Will "Bardahl" McDaniel in the early 1960s, and may be the only surviving one Elvis purchased. The jumpsuit is in Very Fine condition with some areas of wear and discoloration -- primarily to the collar -- and is accompanied by a signed affidavit from former Elvis employee Richard Davis and one 5" x 7" and three 8.5" x 11" b&w photos of the boys playing ball (including one signed by McDaniel).
