Paul Coffey 1996-1998 Road Jersey
Size 50
Nike Air-knit MeiGray LOA 2008 |
On December 15, 1996, the Philadelphia Flyers acquired one of the most prolific offensive defensemen in the history of the NHL. In 94 games in over a season and a half with the Flyers, Paul Coffey compiled 8 goals and 47 assists for a total of 55 points. This jersey was worn during either the 96-97 season or the 97-98 season. The tagging inside the jersey leads me to believe it was worn during the 97-98 season.
The wear is on the lighter side with the front of the jersey showing a 2" black mark to the right of the crest, three slash marks through the crest, a small fabric pull above the crest, and a 1" black mark to the right of the crest. The left arm features two black marks on the inside elbow, staining near collar, small burn in the elbow area, 2 nice board burns in the lower elbow area, and one un-repaired hole in the elbow area. The right arm has staining near the collar and two black markings on the inside elbow. The rear of the jersey shows even wear with some loose threads on the left #7. The inside of the jersey has some pilling above the crest and 77 penned on the Nike neck tag in black sharpie ink. Coffey remains second only to Ray Bourque in all time scoring by a defenseman. He, however, averaged more points per game than did Bourque (1.09 Coffey / 0.98 Bourque), having played 203 fewer games but lagging only 48 points behind. |

The story continues on the rear of the jersey with some markings on the left hem, a few board burns, and a funky 3” panel repair where the mesh was taken out and replaced. Sandow SK is screened on the lower right hem and the rear 2 has been personally signed by Howe in black sharpie. “Howe” is sewn on a matching mesh nameplate with white twill. Inside, a well washed Sandow Sporting Knit tag and washing instruction tag remain, designating the jersey as a size X-Large. The familiar fight strap remains in tact with the blue racing stripes. There is heavy pilling in the forearm/elbow areas on each arm. A sweet Cooperall era Flyers road gamer worn by legendary D-man Mark Howe!

Eagle Mesh Regular season /playoff set Iceviolence LOA

This jersey was worn by the late “Beast” (RIP) during the 1985-86 season. The season would be dedicated to the young Flyers goaltender, Pelle Lindbergh, who died tragically in a car accident on 11/11/85. The Flyers wore a “31” patch on their left shoulder for the remainder of the season. The jersey features nice wear with the front exhibiting a few slash marks to the crest, a small stain under the crest, an un-repaired hole in the black hem area, and a few black markings on the bottom of the front. The right arm shows a couple of board burns to the black cuff area, a few small burns in the orange area of the sleeve, black and red markings to the arm “0” and a hemmed cuff. The left sleeve has the aforementioned “31” patch, a small un-repaired hole under the arm “0”, two small burns in the orange area of the sleeve, a large board burn in the black cuff area, and hemmed cuff. The rear of the jersey has decent wear as well with some red dasher markings under the rear “0” and an un-repaired hole and some burns to the right of the embroidered “Eagle” branding. Inside, the small 50 size tag remains in the neck area. There is light pilling on the inside of each arm. The fight strap shows some salting and has been sewn through the rear “0” and reinforced with thick white thread. This jersey may have been worn toward the end of the season and into the playoffs. I have a possible video match from Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals vs the NY Rangers to the placement of the “31” over the left sleeve numbers. Nonetheless, this is a fantastic example of the 1985-86 Pelle memorial jerseys worn in front of the Flyers faithful on Pattison Ave.

Look at the inner top black portion of the 6 and see it slopes down on the left side. Then under the bottom cut out of the 6 there is a crease in the orange twill from washings. Also, if you zoom in on the b&w picture below there is a crease above the cut out on the left side in the orange twill which can be seen.

This jersey was worn by Flyers defenseman Thomas Eriksson during the 84-85 campaign. It exhibits light wear with a stick mark under the right arm and a few black markings on the rear #7.

John Stevens 1986-1987 Home Jersey
Size 50
CCM Mesh Regular Season Set
|
This jersey was worn by John Stevens during the 1986-87 season. He was called up for 6 games that year to fill in on defense. Two of those six games were at the Spectrum. This jersey was worn on 1/29/87 in a 5-3 win over Pittsburgh and on 1/31/1987 in a 3-1 loss to the NY Rangers. Stevens would get an assist during the Pittsburgh game on a Dave Poulin third period goal. The jersey consists of light but evident wear with a small mark on the the right sleeve cuff area. There are a few dark brown stains to the right of and under the crest (possibly blood). The left arm #1 has a black mark. The rear of the jerseys shows nice even wear and the nameplate of matching mesh material seems to have yellowed over time. The fight strap which shows salting, has been attached through the rear #1. The original CCM fight strap was cut out by the team and the older style Eagle strap was used. This was a common practice for jerseys in the home and road CCM sets with the long black cuffs.
On 10/22/06, Stevens was hired as the new Flyers head coach. He was the 16th head coach in the history of the team that will be remembered for taking a team that was in the basement of the NHL at the end of the 06-07 season to the Conference Finals the very next year in the 07-08. |
