The follow-up to the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, the 2004 edition featured 8 teams in 2 pools, with the Canadians, Russians, Americans and Slovakia in the North American pool, while Finland, Sweden, Germany and the Czech Republic were featured in the European pool. Matches were played in 6 of the 8 competing nations. This Team Czech Republic jersey was worn in the tournament by living legend Jaromir Jagr, and it’s been photo-matched. Size “58” tagging from Nike is present along the collar along with an IIHF label, with an additional IIHF crest along the back bottom hem. Styled with an attractive and partially embroidered Czech shield crest, the red v-neck sweater has been accented with twill numbers along with the back letters heat-pressed directly onto the nameplate. The 2004 World Cup of Hockey patch sits over the left breast above a small “21” crest worn to honour Czech legend Ivan Hlinka, while a Nike inventory bar code has been heat-pressed onto the inside hem. Nice game-use is exhibited on the important garment, with dark marks on the right side of the chest and over the right sleeve, with larger examples near and on the right elbow. Regarding the previously mentioned photo-matches, we should note that the Czech’s wore these red jerseys in a single game on Sept. 3rd vs Germany. Getty images #51259714 and #51259681 from that game have been matched to the big black mark below the number 68 on the left sleeve, while Getty images #51259838 and #55240130 also from the Sept 3rd match against Germany have been matched to the black marks at the right of the number "68" on the right sleeve. An LOA from the NHLPA will accompany.
