Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Originally drafted 65th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, Kris Letang has spent his entire National Hockey League career with the franchise that first called out his name, suiting up in nearly 1100 games over the course of 18-years as of this writing. A three-time Stanley Cup champion (2009, 2016 and 2017) who has also represented Canada internationally, winning back-to-back gold medals at the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships in 2006 and 2007, offered here is this Penguins third jersey donned by Letang during the 2022-23 season. Made by Adidas, a band displaying both "Made in Canada" and size "56" designations is affixed to the inner collar above a screened on PrimeGreen logo. Featuring the crests of both the NHL and Adidas over the front and reverse necklines respectively, the front of the jersey, in a nod to Pittsburgh's road jerseys of the 1990s, is decorated with "Pittsburgh" going down the chest in stacked tri-layer drop shadow tackle twill letters from right-to-left while a Highmark Medical sponsorship patch and the distinguished alternate captain's "A" have been added over the left breast. Having had matching Penguins primary logo patches added atop of both shoulders, the sleeves and verso have been styled with Letang's number "58" in dual layer yellow-over-white tackle twill numerals while "Letang" is spelt out in single layer yellow letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Displaying solid game-wear, the jersey displays game-wear via stick marks over both sleeves as well as a trio of team repairs over the left sleeve and light pilling on the interior. Having had a Penguins team tag denoting the jersey as a "2022-2023 Third Jersey" offering heat-pressed inside the reverse hem and signed by Penguins equipment manager, Jon Tablianetti, in black ink over the fight strap, the garment comes with a Penguins COA and is photo-matched with Getty Image #1251438061 (April 4th, 2023 vs Minnesota) to the stick mark seen over the right forearm.
