I didn't look too closely, but something seemed different about it. I think maybe it didn't have the gold/yellow trim on it. Something about it doesn't look like it's just a modern #37 (aside from the Delaney name, of course.)

Interestingly, for a long time the store had a bunch of the 2005 first-round jerseys - Alex Smith, Merriman, Demarcus Ware, that WR from Cleveland, etc. They only recently switched it out to these retro jerseys, and two of the dozen or so in the window are Chiefs - DT and Delaney. Between them, Unitas, and a few other guys I don't recall right now, they had an awful lot of jerseys of dead players, and I wonder if that's intentional or not.
