The longest-serving captain in Beantown history, Ray Bourque enjoyed selection as an All-Star on 19 occasions, with his final year in Colorado his most successful, with a Stanley Cup championship won in his 23rd season. From that very campaign that witnessed the Montreal native immortalized as a Stanley Cup victor, we have an Avalanche alternate captain’s jersey worn by Bourque during his swan song season, in 2000-01. A label with attached size “58” fly tag is affixed to the collar, with KOHO and NHL crests over the reverse neckline and bottom hem respectively. Styled with a textured Aves team crest with embroidered detailing, “77” appears over the sleeves and verso, with matching alternate Bigfoot crests over each shoulder. The sleeves have also been custom-shortened, with the circumference also taken-in on each. The alternate’s “A” resides over the left breast, while the 2001 All-Star Game patch is over the right. Sporting light game-use, there are burn marks over each lower sleeve. A garment worthy of any advanced HOF collection, we should note that Bourque wore multiple jerseys within any given game or set, and has been known to gift game jerseys to people, including staff, with this particular jersey kept by the HOF superstar for his private collection. A signed LOA from Ray Bourque will accompany.
