This Sidney Crosby single-game Team Canada 2010 Olympics game-worn jersey is golden, identical in look to the one he wore for the host
nation’s stirring final victory over the United States in Vancouver. Sid’s #87 alternate captain’s Olympic gamer offered here is from
the set worn by Team Canada for its round-robin game against Switzerland on February 18. Sid the Kid deliver the decisive shootout goal
in a 3-2 win at Canada Hockey Place, foreshadowing his “golden goal” against the U.S. The centerpiece of these Nike jerseys is the team
crest Canada introduced exclusively for the Olympic tournament. Because the International Olympic Committee enforced its rule
forbidding the use of national federation logos, Hockey Canada commissioned a Musqueam artist to develop a suitable alternative. The
thunderbird and eagle and the heralded hockey player and stick are among several icons and cultural symbols that are depicted on the
red twill fabric in the middle of the Maple Leaf crest, which is outlined in white embroidery accented by gold thread. The advanced
polyester/spandex fabric used in these white-and-red gamers makes for a remarkably lightweight jersey. The Nike logo, size “60” and
“Made In Canada” are printed in the back of the collar above a sewn-on IIHF tag. Nike’s inventory bar code is heat-pressed into the
inner rear hem. Inside the jersey, a small Hockey Canada logo patch is sewn behind the Canada crest. The Canadian Olympic Committee
logo is embroidered on a patch sewn onto the right rear tail and a Vancouver 2010 patch is sewn onto the left sleeve. A red Nike logo
is sewn on the right breast. Sewn-on double twill numbers are red-and-black on the back and white-and-black on both sleeves. White
twill surname letters are glued onto a sewn-on nameplate. The fight strap is intact and a long laundry instruction fly tag is sewn into
the inside of the left seam. Game use shows in equipment imprints on the right shoulder above Sid’s No. 87 and a small mark to the left
of the numbers, small marks on various areas on the right sleeve, including numerous marks near the cuff, a small rub/mark spot between
the numbers on the left shoulder, which also has small marks on various areas. A loop of nylon thread extends out from the bottom right
tail where the upper row of hem stitching has been pulled. A few rub marks show on the bottom of the rear tail which also displays
marks between and above the two red stripes on the back. Comes with a Hockey Canada letter of authenticity signed by president Bob
Nicholson.[red] Addendum; A security feature is embedded into all Olympic jerseys by Hockey Canada. Hockey Canada doesn't disclose the process, only that if there is ever any question of authenticity by a holder of a Team Canada game-used jersey in the future, they can have Hockey Canada confirm upon supplying the physical jersey for inspection.

[red] Addendum #2; Take notice that the jersey is now photo-matched and we will be providing high resolution photos of the matches to the winning bidder. The photo-match consists of traces of blood, which were mostly washed-out on the jersey, but which are still visible on the right white edge of the alternate’s captain A as well as some washed-out blood visible along the inner edges of the inner triangle of the alternate’s captain A. An additional photo-match consists of a match to the loop of nylon thread which extends out from the bottom right tail where the upper row of hem stitching has been pulled. [/red]
