This beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat. The outer dimensions of the framed piece are approximately 17” wide x 24.5” high, although the exact size will vary according to the size of the original piece of art.

At the core of the framed piece is the actual piece of original artwork as painted by the artist on textured 100% rag, water-marked watercolor paper. In many cases the original artwork has handwritten notes in pencil from the artist (be sure to “See the actual artwork without the frame” elsewhere in this website). Simply put, this is beautiful, one-of-a-kind artwork.

The outer mat is a rich textured black acid-free mat with a decorative inset white v-groove, while the inner mat is a complimentary colored acid-free mat reflecting one of the team’s primary colors. The website image of this framed piece shows the mat color that we suggest (Medium Green), but since each piece is custom framed, we are happy to use whatever color mat you wish (depending on availability) – our standard mat colors are:

Light Blue / Dark Blue / Brown / Maroon (close to brown) / White / Silver / Gold / Yellow (bright yellow) / Green (dark green) / Orange / Purple / Red (bright red, somewhat close to PMS 186)

Beneath the artwork is a silver plate with black text describing the original artwork. The text for this piece will read:

This original, one-of-a-kind watercolor painting of the 1998 New York Jets uniform is the original artwork that was used in the creation of this New York Jets uniform evolution print and tens of thousands of other New York Jets products that have been sold across North America. This original piece of art was painted by artist Tino Paolini for Maple Leaf Productions Ltd.

Beneath the silver plate is a 3” x 9” reproduction of a well known, best-selling print that celebrates the history of the team. The print beautifully illustrates the chronological evolution of the team’s uniform and shows you how the original art was used in the creation of this print. If you look closely, you will see that the print features the actual artwork being offered for sale. The 3” x 9” print looks like this:

The piece is framed with an extremely high quality framing glass. We have used this glass style for many years with excellent results. We package every piece very carefully in a double layer of bubble wrap and a rigid double-wall cardboard package to avoid breakage at any point during the shipping process, but if damage does occur, we will gladly repair, replace or refund. Please note that all of our products come with a 90 day 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Each framed piece also comes with a two page letter signed by Scott Sillcox describing the history behind the art. If there was an extra-special story about your piece of art, that story will be included in the letter. When you receive your framed piece, you should find the letter lightly attached to the front of the framed piece.

If you have any questions, at any time, about the actual artwork or about any of the artist’s handwritten notes on the artwork, I would love to tell you about them. Simply email me, Scott Sillcox, at scott@heritagesportsart.com and I will tell you everything I can about your original piece of art. The artists and I spent well over ten years of our lives creating these pieces of original artwork, and in many cases there are stories I can tell you about your actual piece of artwork that might add an extra element of interest in your one-of-a-kind purchase.

Please note that all reproduction rights for this original work are retained in perpetuity by the National Football League unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by the NFL. For further information, please contact Heritage Sports Art at questions@heritagesportsart.com .

 

History

Bill Parcells is now running Tuna Ball in the Big Apple!With Vinny Testaverde at the helm, and a balanced offence led by the likes of Curtis Martin, Keyshawn Johnson and Wayne Chrebet the once mediocre Jets of the 70's, 80's and early 90's have finally been transformed into a virtual powerhouse and a threat for the AFC title.Parcells took control in 1997, after the Jets worst ever 1-15 record in 1996, and immediately turned the team around. They finished 9-7 in 1997, only their 5th above .500 finish since 1970.In 1998, they keep right on rolling, finishing 1st in the AFC East with a 12-4 mark. In the AFC Divisional Playoff game, they beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-24 in a thriller, then go on to face the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship game. It wasn't to be, however, as the Broncos beat the Jets 23-10 on their way to their second straight Super Bowl victory. But the fans patience has been rewarded the Jets are once again back to respectability and then some.As far as the uniform is concerned, the 1998 Jets have opted to keep the retro style of their late 60's / early 70's uniforms first showcased by the 94 throwback jersey. Note the unusual horizontal and vertical striping format on the sleeves, as well as the old-style Jets logo on the upper left breast/shoulder area. The small, now traditional NFL shields can be seen on the jersey's neckline and the left thigh of the pants. Look carefully at the pants, and you'll also see that the Jets have reverted back to the double stripe style used in the 60's. Finally, the old-school football-shaped helmet logo was so popular among fans in the 1994 throwback uniform that it has been reintroduced on the helmet.
