2005-06 Dan Hinote Set 2 Road (MeiGray)

This is Dan Hinote's Set 2 road sweater from the 2005-06 10th anniversary season.  Very good wear on this sweater with several puck and stick marks throughout..  The Avs sweater has the Avalanche's 10th anniversary patch adorning the right chest. This is a later 6100 style Reebok jersey.  A very nice example of a game sweater of a very popular Stanley Cup winning Avalanche player.  I was very happy to add this sweater to my Avalanche game worn jersey collection. 

The Colorado Avalanche 10th Anniversary patch 
 Here is Hinote wearing the sweater in a road game vs. New Jersey Devils in 2006.

2012-13 Gabriel Landeskog Road Set 1 (MeiGray)

This is Gabriel Landeskog's Set 1 road sweater from the strike shortened season of 2012-13.  This sweater is his 1st captain's jersey available to collectors. Landy kept his 1st captain's sweater from opening night against the Minnesota Wild. He wore this sweater in all road games up to March 14, 2013. The sweater shows great wear as the Avs only issued two sets to the players during the strike year.. Despite keeping his captain debut sweater, Landy wore this sweater for 8 road games, recording 1 goal and 3 assists while averaging close to 19 minutes of ice time in those games... The sweater has great wear and exhibits several team repairs and a nice puck mark on the crest which must of happened late in the last game that he wore the sweater in Minnesota on March 14, 2013 as I cannot track down a photo match for the puck mark... I was able to photo match the crease in the sweater below the collar and a team repair on the right elbow as is evident in the photos below.. This is a great game worn sweater from the Avalanche captain.. Landeskog is my favorite Avs player and I am very happy to have one of his coveted sweaters in my collection. 



 The Three photos below are of Landeskog wearing this sweater in the strike shortened 2012-13 season

2015-16 Gabriel Landeskog NHL Media Week Worn (MeiGray)

This is Gabe Landeskog's sweater that was worn during the NHL Media Week in Toronto in September 2015.  It features the new look design Avs sweaters with the State of Colorado C on the shoulders replacing the Yeti foot and the Avs' 20th Anniversary season patch adorns the left side of the sweater.  The new game sweater also features the softer felt NHL logo on the collar.. I am excited to be the first Avs collector to own a game issued new style sweater.  Sweater has MeiGray tags and LOA from NHL.  It came signed by Landy on the back of the sweater.

2011-12 Matt Duchene Road Set 1 (MeiGray)

This is Matt Duchene's road game worn sweater set 1 from the 2011-12 season. It was his second season as a pro and with the Colorado Avalanche.  The sweater has been photo matched several times to the numerous team repairs and stick mark on the torso of the jersey.  It was hardly a sophomore slump for Dutchy as he scored 27 goals and added 40 assists for 67 points, many of those points while wearing this sweater.. I look forward to many more years of Dutchy flying around the ice and scoring goals for the Avalanche.

 The photos below are three clear photo matches of Duchene wearing the sweater during the 2011-12 regular season.  The stick mark on front of jersey and team repairs on sleeves are clearly visible..

1998-99 Greg deVries Set IV home (Playoffs)

This is Greg deVries game issued set 4 playoff sweater from the 1998-99 playoffs..  This sweater is very pristine and most likely a backup jersey and was never worn in the playoffs so it the Avalanche LOA labels this as "team issued".  "Set IV" is written inside the collar on the Starter tag by the equipment manager.  The thing that makes this jersey so special and rare is that the Columbine High School memorial patch adorns the left sleeve.  The Avs wore these special patches in the Stanley Cup playoffs that year to honor the victims of the Columbine High School tragedy.  These Avs "CHS" patched playoff sweaters are very sought after by Avs collectors and have disappeared into collections.  This is a very special sweater to me in my Avs collection.

 The Columbine High School memorial patch that was placed on the sleeve to honor the victims of the Columbine shooting.  Worn only in the 1999 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

2000-01 Chris Drury Road Set 1 (MeiGray) (Game Worn.Net)

This is Chris Drury's game worn sweater from the Colorado Avalanche's Stanley Cup winning season of 2000-2001. It is his Set 1 road Koho sweater from the season. The jersey  exhibits very good game use, team repairs and stick and puck marks.. The sweater has customized sleeves for Drury and the 2001 NHL All Star patch adorns the right chest of the sweater. Drury was a fan favorite in Colorado as he was known for his clutch goal scoring, especially in the Stanley Cup playoffs.  Drury went on later to play for the Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres and eventually wore the captain's C for the New York Rangers.

 The sweater has the 2001 NHL All Star Game patch as well as the Colorado Avalanche Set 1 tag in the rear hem of the sweater. 

This is a photo of Drury wearing this sweater early in the 2000-01 NHL season
