Once again returning to SC Bern for his sixth season of play with the club during the 1994-95 NDA campaign, Reijo Ruotsalainen would suit up for a total of 19 regular season contests and 6 playoff games for the club, registering a combined total of 16 points over that time. A two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Edmonton Oilers who had previously also helped lead SC Bern to an NDA championship in 1989, offered here is this SC Bern jersey worn by Ruotsalainen during the 1994-95 season. A light weight, all mesh construction garment made by Blacky of Switzerland, a brand tag displaying a size "XL" designation is affixed to the inner collar while the company's logo is seen around the collar and over both shoulders. Featuring fully sublimated graphics and logos, SC Bern logos are present over the front, reverse and at both cuffs while sponsorship logos for Canon, Peugeot and Vedia Versand are found throughout the piece as well. Sporting reinforced doubled up sleeves, Ruotsalainen's number "29" is found in flocked felt numerals over the lower reverse and both sleeves while "Ruotsalainen" is seen over the upper reverse in letters that have been sublimated directly into the fabric of the jersey. Exhibiting just light game-wear via some stick marks and board burns over both sleeves, an additional burn is observed under the first "S" in "Ruotsalainen" on the reverse and it is worth mentioning for accuracy that the numerals on the back are cracked in areas from age. Hailing from his personal collection, an LOA signed by Ruotsalainen will accompany the piece.
