Selected by the Florida Panthers 5th overall at the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, Rob Niedermayer spent an impressive 17 seasons in the NHL, with the bulk of his time split between Florida and Anaheim. Suiting up in 1153 National Hockey League contests throughout his career and winning a Stanley Cup with the Ducks in 2007, offered here is this Mighty Ducks of Anaheim third jersey worn by Niedermayer during the 2005-06 season. Made by Reebok and sporting a lone size "56" label affixed to the inner collar, logo patches for both Reebok and the NHL shield have been added over the reverse neckline and hem respectively. Styled over the front with “Anaheim” in white felt over a layered grey and eggplant tackle twill base with “Mighty Ducks” embroidered into it as well, matching interlocking "MD" alternate logo crests have been placed over both shoulders while the alternate captain's "A" is in place over the left breast. Having had Niedermayer's number "44" sewn to the sleeves and verso in stacked tri-layer tackle twill numerals, "Niedermayer" is spelt out in single layer white twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the back. A classic tie-neck style garment with a knitted collar, the jersey exhibits good game-use via stick marks over the lower front and left sleeve along with numerous board burns and unrealized holes over both sleeves as well. Showing additional wear in the form of coloured board paint transfers near the right elbow, additional board burns are observed over both the front and reverse hem line and both shoulders. Lastly, a couple of small stick marks are found through the numbers on the reverse as well as a board paint transfer as well. With light pilling found in the interior, a MeiGray tag numbered "C00240" is sewn inside the reverse hem, with the company's population report listing the jersey as a "Third Set 1 w/A" offering. Regarding the afformentioned photo-matches, Getty Image #56345203 (December 3rd, 2005 vs Atlanta) is matched to the stick mark over the lower front in the white stripe and large board burn on the right shoulder while Getty Image #56345121 (December 3rd, 2005 vs Atlanta) is matched to the two (2) small board burns above the "MD" logo on the left shoulder and burn at the hem line on Scott's left hip. A matching MeiGray LOA will accompany the piece. Of note, spot stains are found over the lower front and lower reverse that are worth mentioning for accuracy.
