Selected 5th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers during the expansion draft of 1967, Serge Bernier spent the majority of his time in the WHA with Quebec, transitioning with the club to the NHL in 1979-80 and remaining for a pair of seasons. The Padoue native would conclude his prosperous career in 1980-81 as the Nords third place leading scorer throughout their tenure in the WHA. Originating from his personal collection, we have a great group of Nordiques items including Bernier’s mid-1970s Quebec track suit, equipment bag, uniform socks and track pants. Also from his collection, there is a pair of CCM Nordiques practice jerseys from the 1980s/90s, along with a pair of matching t-shirts lamenting the loss of the club in 1995. A signed LOA from Serge Bernier will accompany these great Nordiques items.
The track suit is in solid navy with red and white striping and features an Olympia label within the waistband of the pants, with “21” in vinyl numerals heat-pressed to the pants and over the right breast of the jacket, with a large Nordiques vinyl crest over the left. Both items show great use with considerable pilling to each. The equipment bag is in solid purple, with a well worn Nords logo screened on one side, with Bernier’s “21” screened to the other. The bag exhibits heavy wear throughout, with a Gerry Cosby label over the top. The uniform socks appear to match examples used by Quebec during Bernier’s last few years with the club, with each showing wear with a few small holes. The second pair of track pants appear to originate from Bernier’s earlier time with the club, with a “Saxon Athletic” label and Bernier’s “21” handwritten. Lastly, the Nords practice jerseys include a white example with “21” over the reverse that might possibly originate from his final seasons with the club (heavy use is exhibited), with a later blue example, with each sporting a tackle twill Nords team crest and numbers.
