2007-08 Kurt Sauer Set 1 Road 1.0 (MeiGray)

This is defenseman Kurt Sauer's Set 1 road sweater from the 2007-08 season.  Sauer played for the Avalanche for 3 seasons and was a very physical stay at home defenseman.  The sweater is the infamous 1.0 Reebok that the league got rid of fairly quickly after many teams complained about the materials that made up the jersey and that it didn't breathe or wick sweat. The sweater has nice wear and exhibits paint transfer team repairs and marks throughout.. Also the burgundy has bled onto the white fabric of the jersey causing a pink tinge which was common with this set.

His brother Michael Sauer also was a defenseman and played for the New York Rangers.  Both Sauer brother's careers were cut short by concussions.
