This is Joe Sakic's 1992-93 game worn captain's sweater from his days with the Quebec Nordiques.  This sweater is the road set 2 shirt worn in the 2nd half of the 1992-93 season.

2022-23 Artturi Lehkonen Reverse Retro Set 2 (KSC/Avalanche)

This is Arrturi Lehkonen's Reverse Retro II set 2 game worn sweater.  Very excited to ass this beautiful Avalanche RR to my collection. The sweater was worn for 1 game at St. Louis on 12/11/23 at St. Louis vs the Blues. The Blues also wore their reverse retro sweaters for this game.  It was a memorable game as Mikko Rantanen scored all of the Avs goals with a hat trick and won the game in OT 3-2.

The sweater exhibits some light stick marks on the shoulder area and some light burns on the sleeves very consistent with a one game worn sweater. I was able to photo match some whiskers on the numbers and also the font letters on the nameplate.  The sweater is beautifully customized with kiss cut customization from Cutting Edge Sports.  Very excited to add this sweater and keep up with Avalanche history... Enjoy! And as always, happy collecting and as always, Go Avs Go!

2022-23 Bo Byram Finland Global Series Set 1 Home (NHL Auctions/Fanatics)


This is Bowen Byram's 2022 Global Series game worn sweater from November 4th, 2022 from Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland. The Avs squared off against the Columbus Blue Jackets beating them 6-3.  

Bo Byram wore this jersey in the 1st period of action and was on the ice for JT Compher's goal. 

The sweater does have wear although very light.. That's to be expected as he only wore the jersey in one period of play.  Abrasions on elbows and on shoulder are apparent.  Very happy to add this beautiful Byram game worn sweater to my collection.
