Despite the division realignments and numerous schedule changes of the shortened season caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, it was business as usual on the ice for Connor McDavid, who would lead the Edmonton Oilers to a record of 35-19-2 while picking up a trio of awards that included the Art Ross Trophy, Hart Memorial Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award. Hailing from that memorable season, up for grabs here is this Oilers jersey worn by McDavid during the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Winnipeg Jets. Made by Adidas, a band displaying both “Made in Canada” and size “56” designations appear over the inner collar along with an affixed “Elite Sportwear” tag while both NHL shield and Adidas emblems adorn the front and reverse necklines respectively. Decorated over the front of the navy blue coloured garment with the familiar Oilers team crest in all orange that features embroidered details, the left breast has been accented with the distinguished captain’s “C”. Sporting Connor’s number “97” sewn to the sleeves and verso in single layer orange twill numerals, “McDavid” is spelt out in matching style across the affixed matching nameplate across the top of the back. Worn in just a pair of games, the jersey shows just light wear via a handful of board burns over the left sleeve, a faint stick mark through the team crest, a stick mark/burn under the team crest and some loose threads on the interior. With an Oilers team tag denoting the jersey as a “2020-2021 Season – Set #3” offering present over the interior reverse hem, a MeiGray tag numbered “T04090” is found alongside it and according to the company’s population report, the jersey is a “Navy Set 3 w/C” specimen that was retained by the Oilers. An Oilers LOA will accompany the piece.
For the photo-matches, the jersey is matched with Getty Images #1233033977, #1233034144, and #1319829035 (May 21st, 2021 vs Winnipeg - North Division First Round - Game 2) to the loose orange thread off the "9" on the right sleeve, to various board burns seen on the forearm of the left sleeve and to the faint stick mark seen through the team crest.
