As dominating as all members of Team Canada's defence were in the 2014 Sochi Olympics, it was one blueliner that opposing defenders and goalies must have dreaded more than any other, because when big and smart Shea Weber wound up from the blueline, the best thing for others to do was to just get out of the way and hope for the best. Offered is Weber's black third alternate captain's jersey from Sochi, worn in the February 14th game vs Austria and won by Canada 6-0, and a game in which Weber would bulge the twine with one of those patented missiles. The Nike logo and size "64" are printed in the back of the collar above a sewn-on IIHF tag, while Nike's inventory bar code is heat-pressed into the inner rear hem and a "Sochi.ru 2014" patch is sewn onto the right rear tail. Marks are noticeable on the front, back, and on both sleeves. Comes with an LOA. Inspired by memorable vintage Team Canada jerseys, this black third jersey was designed to inspire our Olympians to win again. The advanced polyester/spandex fabric used makes for a remarkably lightweight jersey which has an approximate weight of 448 grams and is made from 73 percent recycled polyester as part of Nike’s commitment to produce performance apparel with reduced environmental impact. Each jersey is made from up to 17 recycled plastic water bottles! The fight strap is intact and a long laundry instruction fly tag is sewn into the inside of the left seam. A glued on double twill gold and white maple leaf is on the left sleeve with gold piping and a Canadian Olympic Committee logo twill patch is glued on the right sleeve. Rubberized maple leafs are applied around the collar. White twill surname letters are glued onto a sewn-on nameplate while the white and red twill numbers on sleeves and back are sewn-on. The bold white twill “Canada” is glued on with gold piping and was to remind the world of Canada’s hockey heritage while the gold piping on the badges and gold maple leaf on the shoulder was to remind the world of Canada’s goal to win gold medals in Sochi.Classic Auctions in association with Frameworth sports marketing, are proud to offer you this unique piece of memorabilia from the 2014 Winter Olympics.
