Tom Brady’s last game pants sold for a crazy high price at auction
The uniform pants worn by retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady during his final game fetched $89,100 at auction. Brady, a Super Bowl-winning quarterback, concluded his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a January 2023 NFC Wild Card Game against the Dallas Cowboys. Grey Flannel Auctions sold the pants, which were specifically used in Brady’s last game, as verified by MeiGray Photo-Matching. Comparatively, other pants from Brady’s last season previously sold for $31,200 in November through Heritage Auctions. This price, though significant, does not surpass the record set by a pair of Babe Ruth’s pants, which sold for $183,500 in 2012.
Retired Super Bowl-winning QB Tom Brady’s uniform pants — worn during his final game in the NFL — were put up for auction recently and went for close to $90,000.
The retired Tampa Bay Buccaneers star’s final game in the league ended up being when the Buccaneers faced off against the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card Game in January 2023 and lost.
The pants Brady wore in the game sold at auction for $89,100, according to Grey Flannel Auctions.
A description of the item for auction read, “1/16/2023 Tom Brady Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFC Wild Card ‘Last’ Game-Used Pants (MeiGray Photo-Matched • Brady’s Final Career Game).”
Last year, game uniform pants that Brady wore during 11 games of what turned out to be his final season in the league also sold for a pretty penny at auction when they went for $31,200 in November, through Heritage Auctions, according to Darren Rovell, CBS News reported.

The crazy thing is that the amount the retired NFL legend’s pants brought in is nowhere near the most money netted by a previously-worn pair of trousers. In 2012, a pair of pants Babe Ruth wore from his New York Yankees 1921 season sold at auction for $183,500. And two years later, two other pairs of Ruth’s game-worn pants sold for $90,000 at Goldin Auctions, the outlet noted.
However, Brady does beat the Sultan of Swat in one area and that’s owning the record for the most expensive NFL jersey ever sold. Last November, the former Patriots and Buccaneers star QB’s final game jersey sold for $1.39 million at Sotheby’s, CBS News noted.
In 2023, the seven-time Super Bowl-winning QB made his retirement from the game official when he took to his Instagram and announced that after 23 seasons in the league, he was done.
In the now-viral video on Instagram, Brady first thanked fans and everyone who helped him along the way, before he explained that he was retiring for good from the NFL for real this time.
“I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” Brady shared, noting his previous retirement announcement on February 1, 2022, before changing his mind.
In 2022, Brady made headlines when he announced he was finally walking away from professional football. But 40 days later he reversed that decision and returned to play with the Bucs for another season.
During his two decade-plus seasons in the league, Brady made numerous trips to the Super Bowl, resulting in seven Super Bowl rings. He also made 15 Pro Bowl appearances.
