Only the second occasion in Olympic history featuring the NHL’s best representing their home countries, the 2002 Winter Games were held in the US, with the host nation losing the gold medal game to the Canadians in both the men’s and women’s pools. This Team Russia alternate captain’s jersey was worn by Pavel Bure in the Feb 18th contest against Finland, and it’s been photo-matched. Nike size tagging along with an IIHF label are affixed to the collar, with embroidered Nike swoosh logos on the back neckline and over the right breast. Featuring a Russian Federation twill team crest with “Russia” below in Cyrillic, the solid white v-neck has been accented with double-twill numbers on the sleeves and verso. A partially embroidered IIHF crest resides on the back bottom, while a Nike inventory bar code numbered 41417 has been heat-pressed onto the inside hem. Game-wear includes a few faint marks on the left sleeve, along with a few darker examples over the right elbow. There are also a few small marks on verso, along with a stain to the left of the numbers. Regarding the previously mentioned photo-match, Getty image #1132997 from the aforementioned Feb 18th game against Finland has been matched to the dark mark on the upper seam along the left elbow. An LOA from the NHLPA will accompany.
