Trump’s New Jersey general’s jacket up for auction

A jacket that belonged to President Donald Trump, when he owned the New Jersey Generals, is up for auction.

During his three years in the United States Football League, which attempted to compete with the NFL, Trump owned the team that represented New Jersey and played at Giants Stadium.

The white jacket is embroidered with “Trump” on the right chest and a general’s helmet on the left. The collar, cuffs and bottom of the jacket feature team colors, while there are some stains inside and near the buttons.

“This jacket is properly marked and presented to us as an owner’s jacket,” the auction house’s description of the jacket reads.

Trump attempted to own a team in the NFL on at least two occasions, including the Baltimore Colts and the Buffalo Bills, before running for president.

Trump took ownership of the Generals in 1984 after initially attempting to purchase the team before the franchise’s first game.

Under Trump’s leadership, the Generals went 25-11 (14-4, 11-7) and made the playoffs in each of his two seasons, but lost in their first playoff game both years.

Herschel Walker and Doug Flutie played for the Generals before continuing their respective careers in the NFL. Trump wanted to move the Generals to New York, but the league folded in 1986, shortly after moving its schedule from spring and summer to fall to compete directly with the NFL.
