This Lightning gamer worn by Marc Bergevin in 1993-94 offers a few curiosities. The nameplate and No. 25 on the back of the white jersey appear to have been removed and stitched back lower on the jersey. The original nameplate placement had the top stitched over the bottom of the black neck yoke, and has been lowered nearly an inch, while the three-tone black, silver and blue twill No. 25 on the back was nearly two inches higher before it was removed and resewn lower. An alternate captain’s “A” also appears to have been removed from the left breast. A veteran of 1,191 regular season games and original member of the Lightning, Bergevin spent three seasons on the expansion team’s blueline. The inner tail has “Exclusively customized for Phil Esposito (with the Hall of Famer’s facsimile signature) and the Tampa Bay Lightning by Pro Specialty Corp., 1993 Set 1” screened in white. The jersey has its original fight strap, and CCM and size 54 fly tags in the neck.
There is nice wear with holes near the cuff of the right sleeve and on the elbow showing through to the inner gusset. Three team repairs on the left elbow and a hole near the cuff are also to be mentioned. A final oddity, the black twill “R” in Bergevin’s last name doesn’t have the same textured pattern as the other letters in the set.
