Circa 1990 Wayne Gretzky LA Kings Team-Issued & Autographed Home Jersey

Wayne Gretzky’s Los Angeles Kings Jersey: A Legendary Artifact

The Legacy of “The Great One”

Wayne Gretzky, affectionately known as “The Great One,” is revered as the greatest hockey player of all time. His unparalleled achievements in the NHL, including being the leading point scorer in history and the only player to surpass 200 points in a season—an achievement he accomplished four times—cement his legendary status. Upon his retirement in 1999, the Hockey Hall of Fame waived its waiting period, inducting him immediately, a testament to his extraordinary impact on the sport.

A Jersey with Historical Significance

This Los Angeles Kings jersey is a remarkable piece of hockey memorabilia, representing a significant chapter in Gretzky’s illustrious career. The jersey features the “MASKA” manufacturer’s tag inside the front collar, with “100% POLYESTER” and washing instructions, and the number “54” inscribed in pen. The rear tail proudly displays the “CCM” and official “NHL” logo, while inside, a “99” tag signifies Gretzky’s iconic number.

Design and Details

The front of the jersey is adorned with “LOS ANGELES KINGS” embroidered in black stitching on silver tackle twill, outlined in silver and black stitching. A captain’s “C” in silver on black tackle twill graces the front left chest, symbolizing Gretzky’s leadership on the ice. Across the back, “GRETZKY” is emblazoned above the player number “99,” both crafted in silver on black tackle twill. The player number “99” also appears on both sleeves in silver on white tackle twill, completing the jersey’s distinguished design.
