Best remembered as Wayne Gretzky’s first professional club, the Indianapolis Racers joined the WHA in 1974-75 and iced teams for four seasons, folding after the first 25 games of the 1978-79 season. This Racers jersey hails from the club’s time in the WHA, in either 1975-76 or 1977-78, and was worn by an unknown player. Sporting a Rawlings label with “48” sizing along the collar, a loop-style fight strap has also been utilized on the vintage garment. Featuring a layered multi-coloured tackle twill team crest, “22” is sewn to the sleeves and verso in white-over-red twill, with no nameplate over the upper reverse (there is evidence of a former nameplate). Sporting a large stick mark over the team crest, there are also burn marks over the left sleeve and a large team repair on the reverse left shoulder. We should also note that John Sheridan wore #22 in 1975-76 (11 games), while Murray Heatley donned the #22 jersey in 1977-78 (54 games).
