A Rare Dual-Worn Jersey: Jacques Plante and Eddie Giacomin

An Iconic Piece of Hockey History

In the realm of hockey memorabilia, few items can boast the dual significance of this extraordinary durene jersey. Worn by not one, but two Hall of Fame goaltenders, Jacques Plante and Eddie Giacomin, this jersey is a testament to the rich history of the New York Rangers. The jersey’s storied past is etched into its very fabric, showcasing the remarkable careers of these legendary athletes.

Details of the Jersey

Inside the rear tail of this historic jersey, a partially detached size “48” tag hints at its vintage authenticity. The front of the jersey is adorned with the iconic “RANGERS” lettering, set diagonally across the chest, while the player number “1” is prominently displayed on both sleeves and the back. Crafted in red on white tackle twill, the numbering and lettering exude a classic elegance.

Condition and Repairs

The jersey bears witness to the intense battles fought on the ice, featuring a large team repair on the front, along with several unrepaired holes and material pulls. The sleeves, too, tell a story of resilience, with multiple team repairs, including a significant 12-inch repair running down the length of the right sleeve. Additional repairs can be found on the back of the jersey and the right shoulder, further attesting to its game-worn authenticity.
