Circa 1976 Eddie Giacomin Detroit Red Wings Game-Used & Signed Jersey

Eddie Giacomin’s Game-Worn Detroit Red Wings Jersey: A Legendary Artifact

A Storied Career in the NHL

Hall of Fame goaltender Eddie Giacomin is celebrated as one of the finest goalies of his generation. His illustrious career began with the New York Rangers, where he spent parts of 11 seasons before joining the Detroit Red Wings in the 1975-76 season. Giacomin’s prowess on the ice earned him a Vezina Trophy and six NHL All-Star game appearances, solidifying his status as a legendary figure in hockey history.

Giacomin’s impact was so profound that when he returned to Madison Square Garden as a member of the Red Wings, the Rangers’ fans famously booed their own team—a moment immortalized as one of the 50 greatest in MSG history.

The Jersey: A Testament to Excellence

This remarkable piece of hockey memorabilia is a game-worn jersey from Giacomin’s tenure with the Detroit Red Wings. The jersey features the iconic Red Wings team logo crest embroidered on the front, adorned with repairs, stick marks, and material pulls that speak to its storied past.

• Player Name and Number: The back of the jersey proudly displays “GIACOMIN” on a white nameplate in red tackle twill, with the number “31” on both sleeves in white tackle twill and on the back in red tackle twill.
• Historical Details: The Detroit Red Wings 50-year anniversary patch has been removed from the left shoulder, leaving a faint outline, and an additional repair is visible on the back.
• Signature and Inscription: Giacomin has signed the front of the jersey in blue marker, adding the inscription “HOF 1987,” which in our opinion rates an 8.

This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows excellent use. It is accompanied by a Selby Colson LOA and an ALOA from JSA, further enhancing its authenticity and value.
