Three-time division champs mid-way through their 1962-77 existence, the Baltimore Clippers were members of the AHL, playing home games at the Baltimore Civic Center on the site where the Continental Congress met in 1776. From the club’s inaugural season in 1962-63, we have a Baltimore Clippers wool jersey originally donned by Timmins native, Pat Hannigan. Size tagging from prominent supplier Gerry Cosby sits partially affixed to the collar, with the vintage wool styled with a circular canvas team crest featuring embroidered details. Accented with gorgeous dual-colour drop-shadow “14” on verso, with the number repeated on each upper sleeve in tackle twill, the V-neck sweater also utilizes vertical sleeve and lower striping bands. With the collar void of lacing the only imperfection regarding its original construction, we should note that this particular style jersey with its specific team crest, was only utilized during the club’s first AHL season.
Marks are present on the lower front striping band, along with a few small holes which repeat on verso. There is some slight “puckering” to the team crest, along with 13 team repairs. We have 4 on the right sleeve and 3 on the left, along with a single example over the left shoulder. The remaining repairs are all isolated along the lower front striping band, just above the hem. While we needn’t emphasize the rarity of quality wool sweaters, this particular example’s unique design along with its blinding scarcity, make it highly desirable to collectors.
