A veteran of 613 NHL contests, centerman Tyler Wright was selected 12th overall at the 1991 NHL Entry Draft, with the Kamsack native appearing for Edmonton, Pittsburgh, Columbus and Anaheim. We have a collection of game-worn jerseys totaling 4, including his 1996-97 and 1999-00 Pittsburgh Penguins examples, his 2003-04 Columbus Blue Jackets jersey and 2005-06 Anaheim Ducks example. Each jersey has also been signed by Wright, with this great collection of four jerseys obtainable with just a single bid.
The breakdown for each of these game-worn jerseys is as follows. The 1996-97 Penguins example has Starter labeling along with a “52-R” size swatch affixed to the collar, with embroidered Starter and NHL crests over the back bottom hem. Styled with “Pittsburgh” placed across the chest in drop-shadow tackle twill, the solid black V-neck has been accented with oversized sleeve and verso numbers in matching material. Wright has signed the reverse “9” in thin marker, with no issues for the signature. Game-wear includes marks over the lower front along with board burns over each sleeve, with pilling in a number of spots. A few small holes are also present over each elbow, resulting from board burns. The 1999-00 Penguins jersey has a Pro Player label with handwritten “29” along with a size “52” fly tag, with Pro Player and NHL crests over the back bottom hem. Featuring a textured Pens team crest, oversized tri-colour sleeve and verso numbers have also been utilized, with the NHL 2000 crest over the right breast. Wright has signed across the team crest in black marker, and the signature displays wonderfully. Marks are present over the lower front and sleeves, with slits over each sleeve including a large pair near the left sleeve’s number. Next, the 2003-04 Columbus jersey has size “56” labeling along the collar, with embroidered NHL and KOHO crests over the bottom hem and back neckline respectively. Styled with a beautiful multi-coloured Blue Jackets team crest with embroidered detailing, the navy V-neck has been embellished with tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers, with matching alternate crests over each shoulder along with the team patch affixed to the inside hem. Wright has signed the reverse “8” in thin black marker, with no issues for the signature. Heavy board burns over each sleeve are present, with resulting holes near the left elbow. Lastly, the 2005-06 Anaheim jersey has size “56” tagging affixed to the collar, with embroidered NHL and Reebok crests over the bottom hem and back neckline respectively. Styled with a thick, embossed Ducks team crest, the V-neck sweater has been accented with tri-colour tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers, with matching alternate crests over each shoulder. Tyler has again signed within the reverse “8” in thin black marker, adding his “28”. Just light wear is visible on the sweater, with faint burns over each sleeve. A patch from Meigray numbered “C00174” sits on the inside hem near a date swatch, and according to their population report, the jersey is a “Jade Set 2” example.
