Stan Mikita’s Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Hockey Greatness

An Icon of the NHL

Stan Mikita, a name synonymous with excellence in the world of hockey, remains one of the most revered figures in the NHL’s storied history. During his illustrious career, Mikita captured the hearts of fans and the respect of his peers by securing four Art Ross Trophies as the league’s leading scorer, two Hart Memorial Trophies as the NHL’s Most Valuable Player, and two Lady Byng Trophies for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct. His remarkable career statistics include 541 goals, 926 assists, and a total of 1,467 points, placing him among the all-time leaders in these categories upon his retirement.

The Jersey: A Piece of Hockey History

This extraordinary jersey, worn by Mikita himself, is a testament to his enduring legacy. Inside, below the rear collar, lies the Wilson manufacturer’s tag, size “46,” complete with washing instructions and a heavily faded attached flag tag. Adjacent to this is the Gunzo’s distributor’s tag, a mark of authenticity and heritage. Across the front, the iconic Blackhawks team logo crest is embroidered, a symbol of Mikita’s long-standing association with the team.
