Economic impact of Super Bowl XLIX
Tom Brady’s missing jersey from Super Bowl LI has been found, the NFL announced Monday, along with the jersey the New England Patriots quarterback wore in the Super Bowl two years earlier in Glendale.
The NFL said an investigation by the FBI, NFL security and Texas law enforcement officials discovered the jerseys in the possession of a “credentialed member of the international media.”
It was previously unreported that Brady’s game-worn jersey from Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 had gone missing.
Houston police chief Art Acevedo announced that the LI game-worn jersey, which was valued at approximately $500,000, was traced to Mexico.
“The Super Bowl LI jersey worn last month by MVP Tom Brady has been recovered,” the NFL’s statement said. “Also retrieved during the ongoing investigation was the jersey Brady wore in the Patriots’ victory in Super Bowl XLIX against the Seattle Seahawks in 2015.”
Brady discovered the latest jersey was missing shortly after returning to the Patriots’ locker room following his post-Super Bowl media obligations.
Houston police are holding a press conference at 12:30 p.m. ET.
