80’s Russell Athletic Eagle Alpha Kappa Lambda Sewn Letter Jersey — White/Purple (XL)

An absolute holy grail for vintage sportswear collectors and Ivy/prep enthusiasts alike. This is an authentic 1980s Alpha Kappa Lambda (ΑΚΛ) fraternity football-style jersey, manufactured on a highly coveted Russell Athletic "Eagle" line blank. The lower left hem features the iconic, intact embroidered white Eagle jock tag with the signature script font and red bird motif—a premium division of Russell from the 1980s known for its incredibly heavy, durable knit construction. The center chest features the Greek letters ΑΚΛ heavily embellished with authentic, double-layered tackle twill patches (purple on gold) that are fully stitched to the garment. Designed with a traditional horizontal yoke across the chest, deep armholes, a thick ribbed crewneck, and contrasting purple ribbed band cuffs on the sleeves.
