Bobby Hull’s Game-Worn Gloves: A Piece of Hockey History

A Legendary Blackhawk

Bobby Hull, affectionately known as “The Golden Jet,” is revered as one of the most iconic figures in the history of the Chicago Blackhawks. His illustrious career began in the 1957-58 season, and he quickly became a pivotal force for the team. Hull’s remarkable performance led the Blackhawks to their first Stanley Cup Championship in 23 years in 1961, a feat that remains etched in the annals of hockey history.

Hull’s prowess on the ice earned him the Hart Memorial Trophy twice, solidifying his status as the league’s Most Valuable Player. His contributions to the sport have left an indelible mark, making him a beloved figure in the world of hockey.

The Gifted Gloves

During the early 1960s, Bobby Hull personally gifted a pair of game-worn gloves to a Chicago police officer after a Blackhawks game. These gloves are not just ordinary sports equipment; they are a testament to Hull’s generosity and his connection with the fans and community. The gloves bear the stamp “627” on each wrist strap, and the words “Kurv-Pam” appear on the thumbs, adding a unique touch to these historic artifacts.

• Player Number: The number “9,” Hull’s iconic player number, is handwritten in vintage black marker inside the wrist.
• Condition: The gloves exhibit scuff marks and wear, indicative of heavy game action, further enhancing their authenticity and value.
• Signature: Hull signed the top wrist of each glove in bold marker, with the signatures rating a combined 9 in our opinion.
