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. Brenden Morrow’s #10 Olympic gamer offered here is
from the set worn by Team Canada for its round-robin game against Switzerland on February 18, which saw Sid the Kid deliver the
decisive shootout goal in a 3-2 win at Canada Hockey Place. Brenden contributed two goals and one assist while playing all seven games
as Canada claimed Olympic gold. 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 numerous marks
on the lower front tail, a few stick marks on the left sleeve, and a variety of small marks on the right sleeve.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.
