A product of the QMJHL's Trois-Rivières Ducs who would be drafted 40th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins at the 1972 NHL Amateur Draft, Denis Herron would go on to play a total of 462 games in the National Hockey League with the likes of the Penguins as well as the Kansas City Scouts and Montreal Canadiens. The Vezina Trophy winner in 1981 and the William M. Jennings Trophy recipient in 1982, offered here is this Penguins jersey worn by Herron during the 1984-85 season. A heavyweight mesh construction offering made by CCM, a partially detached brand label is still affixed to the inner collar, with the jersey itself measuring out to roughly a size "50" and having had a CCM patch sewn on over the reverse hem. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a screened on Penguins team crest, the shoulders and reverse of the garment have been styled with Herron's number "1" in screened on dual layer yellow-over-white numerals. Having had "Herron" spelt out in screened on yellow letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse, the ribbon style fight strap that was once housed on the interior of the jersey has been cut out. Displaying with good game-wear, puck marks are dotted throughout the front and both sleeves of the jersey while a team repair is present underneath the team crest on the front. Also showing additional repairs over the right sleeve, pilling around the collar and discoloration to the white stripes as well as the odd spot stain, the jersey is accompanied by an LOA as well as a photo of Herron that was taken during the season which shows a match to puck marks on the inside of both sleeves.
