Nicklas Lidstrom’s 1998-99 Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Hockey Excellence
A Piece of Hockey History
In the realm of hockey memorabilia, few items hold as much prestige as a game-worn jersey from a legendary player. The 1998-99 season was a remarkable chapter in the illustrious career of Nicklas Lidstrom, one of the NHL’s most revered defensemen. This authentic game jersey, adorned with the iconic Detroit Red Wings logo, is a testament to Lidstrom’s enduring legacy and the storied history of the franchise.
Exquisite Craftsmanship and Authenticity
The jersey is a masterpiece of design and authenticity. Inside the rear collar, the “Nike” manufacturer’s tag with size “52” is prominently displayed, accompanied by the “Center Ice Authentic” label and the “Made In Canada” flag tag. Adjacent to these is the “NHL PLAYER” label, underscoring its genuine nature. The inner tail is stamped with “1998-99 AUTHENTIC GAME JERSEY 1ST SET,” featuring the facsimile signature of head equipment manager Paul Boyer, further attesting to its authenticity.
On the outer tail, the Nike swoosh and “NHL” logo patch are proudly displayed. The front of the jersey features the large “Red Wing” logo crest, while the left chest bears the Alternate Captain’s “A.” The player number is emblazoned on the back and both sleeves, with “LIDSTROM” prominently displayed on the back. All numbers and letters are crafted in white tackle twill, a hallmark of quality and durability.
A Signature of Excellence
Lidstrom has personally signed the back number in black marker, adding the inscription “5,” which rates a 6-7 in terms of condition. This signature not only enhances the jersey’s value but also serves as a personal connection to the player himself. The fight strap remains intact, a testament to the jersey’s game-used status.
