A Champions size "50" label graces the collar, with no other additional tagging present. Sporting a rubberized Rockies team crest, "14" in solid white with red trim appears over the sleeves and verso also rubberized, along with matching team crests over each shoulder. "Robert" is in heat-pressed white vinyl letters over an affixed nameplate. An hastily sewn-on captain’s "C" is on the left breast of the sweater which is hemmed at the waist and was recycled for Robert from the previous season. An intact garter-style fight strap was also utilized and a customized small stretchy material loop was added below to the left of the fight strap.
A pair of material-backed team repairs are located on the lower left sleeve which also exhibit three unrepaired holes. Another material-backed sewing fix is at the junction of the red and lower yellow stripes on the right sleeve with a last one located on the bottom edge of the yellow stripe. More game wear includes stick and paint transfer marks and there is heavy pilling to both inner sleeves. The jersey's colors all remain bright with no cracking or peeling to the rubberized identifiers.
The jersey is photo-matched to Getty Images #78935211 and #82086611 (both without the captain's "C") to the long black mark at the right of the team's crest and to a pair of small spots of wear (showing as white) near the middle of the team's crest.
