2013 Sidney Crosby Pittsburgh Penguins Game-Used Home Jersey

Sidney Crosby’s 2013 Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Excellence

A Season of Triumph

In the 2013 lockout-shortened NHL season, Sidney Crosby, the esteemed center for the Pittsburgh Penguins, delivered a performance that was nothing short of extraordinary. Despite the season’s brevity, Crosby amassed an impressive 26 points over 14 games, showcasing his unparalleled skill and determination. This remarkable achievement earned him the prestigious Ted Lindsay Award, a place on the All-Star’s First Team, and a close second in the race for the Hart Memorial Trophy, trailing only behind the formidable Alexander Ovechkin.

The Jersey: A Piece of Hockey History

This particular jersey, worn by Crosby during those 14 games, is a symbol of his exceptional prowess on the ice. The inner rear tail of the jersey features the “Pro Knitwear” distributor’s tag, marked with the code “PPH#B12170413,” indicating its authenticity as a “Pittsburgh Penguins – 2013 Game Jersey – Set 1.” The left inseam bears a “Reebok” tag, detailing the fabric composition and care instructions, while the size “56” tag is positioned just below the inner rear collar. The iconic “Reebok” logo is prominently displayed across the rear collar, and the official “NHL” logo is embroidered on the v-neck in striking black and silver.

• Distinctive Features: The jersey is adorned with a large Pittsburgh “Penguin” tackle twill logo across the front, the captain “C” on the left chest, and Crosby’s number “87” on each sleeve and the back.
• Personalization: Crosby’s name is emblazoned across the back on a black nameplate, all crafted in white tackle twill with black embroidery trim and a Las Vegas gold tackle twill outline.
• Integrity: The fight strap remains intact, further attesting to the jersey’s authenticity and use.
