Penguins Center Sidney Crosby wore this uniform during 14 games in the 2013 lockout shortened season where he acquired 26 points. That season, Crosby received the Ted Lindsay Award, was named to the All-Star’s First Team and finished second for the Hart Memorial Trophy behind Alexander Ovechkin. On the inner rear tail is the “Pro Knitwear” distributor’s tag with code “PPH#B12170413” and that reads “Pittsburgh Penguins - 2013 Game Jersey - Set 1”. On the left inseam is a “Reebok” tag with “VDR/FCTY CODE: THC00”, a list on body fabrics and wash instructions. Just below the inner rear collar is a size “56” tag. Across the rear collar reads “Reebok”. On the v-neck is the official “NHL” logo embroidered in black and silver. Across the front is a large Pittsburgh “Penguin” tackle twill logo. On the left chest is the captain “C”. On each sleeve and on back is the player number “87”. Across the back is the player name “CROSBY” on a black nameplate. All are done in white tackle twill with a black embroidery trim on a las vegas gold tackle twill outline. Just under the rear collar is a black strip tag with “Reebok” embroidered in white. The fight strap is intact. The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. Accompanied by a JerseyTRAX report listing all games Crosby wore this jersey in and an additional LOA from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
