Sidney Crosby was drafted first overall in 2005 as one of the most highly regarded picks in NHL history. By his second season, he led the NHL with 120 points (36 goals, 84 assists) to capture the Art Ross Trophy, becoming the youngest player and the only teenager to win a scoring title in any major North American sports league. That same season, Crosby won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the Professional Hockey Writers Association's choice for most valuable player and the Lester B. Pearson Award as the NHL Players Association's choice for most outstanding player, becoming the seventh player in NHL history to earn all three awards in one year. Crosby wore this jersey for 7 games of the 2014-15 season. Inside beneath the collar is a Canadian flag tag reading the size “56”. Inside the rear middle tail is a tag reading “2014-2015 Set 1 Throwback Jersey of the Pittsburgh Penguins” with serial number “PH#T14153710”. On the left inseam is a Reebok flag tag with jersey materials and washing instructions. On the upper left chest is the Captain’s “C” logo in yellow on white tackle twill and on the v-neck is the official “NHL” logo. Across the chest is the large Penguins team logo crest in yellow, black, white and grey tackle twill. The player number “87” appears on both sleeves in black on white tackle twill. The player number also appears on the back in yellow on white tackle twill. Across the back is the player name “CROSBY” in yellow tackle twill on a black nameplate. Adjacent above is a “Reebok” logo. The fight strap is intact and there is a repair on the left sleeve. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. Accompanied by a Penguins LOA and a Photo-Match.com LOA confirming the match.
