This single-game Team Canada 2010 Olympics game-worn jersey is golden, identical in look to the ones worn by Sidney Crosby and company
for the host nation’s stirring final victory over the United States in Vancouver. The captain’s “C” is featured on Scott Niedermayer’s
Olympic gamer offered here, which is from the set worn by Team Canada for its round-robin game against Switzerland on February 18. Sid
the Kid delivered the decisive shootout goal in a 3-2 win at Canada Hockey Place, setting the stage for even greater heroics to come.
Scott, a key contributor to Canada’s 2002 gold medal win in Salt Lake City, was on the ice in the wake of the “golden goal” to greet
Crosby and celebrate his second Olympic title. 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
unrepaired holes above the upper red stripe on the left sleeve and a diagonal black mark to the left of the Vancouver 2010 patch. The
Canada crest displays a diagonal slash mark on the right side. A black mark sits to the right of the crest on the left side of the
jersey with another pale mark directly above it, just below the Captain’s “C” in red-and-white double twill is sewn on the left breast.
Red paint transfer is displayed on board burns on the bottom edge of the hem on the left rear tail. A couple of light black marks
appear on the back to the right of Scott’s No. 27. 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.
