The one accredited with saving hockey in Pittsburgh when he made his National Hockey League debut in 2005, Sid the Kid, now Sid the Adult, took both the city and league by storm and has been satisfying Pens fans for a total of 17 seasons and counting that has been capped off with three Stanley Cup Championships and numerous other awards. Being presented here is this Sidney Crosby Pittsburgh Penguins rookie-era jersey that has been signed by the future Hall of Famer. Made by KOHO, this replica jersey, coming in at a size XL as told by the tagging on the inner collar, is made of a high quality airknit material much like the on-ice jerseys of the time. Featuring the classic Penguins crest in its familiar black and gold on the front of the jersey, with displayability remaining excellent despite one small spot on the white of the crest. The sleeves and verso of the jersey feature Crosby’s familiar number “87” in triple layer three colour tackle twill and have been fully stitched down like everything else with “Crosby” having been spread out in similar fashion across the affixed nameplate. A KOHO spell out logo patch adorns the rear neckline. The back number “8” has been signed by Sid in black marker and remains in beautiful condition with no flaws whatsoever. It should be noted that while remaining in new with tags condition, there is a small spot found on the jersey’s left sleeve.
Additionally, included with the lot is a media guide from the 2005 NHL Entry draft that has also been signed by Crosby, the number 1 overall draft pick for that year. The silver book has been signed on the front cover by Sid in bold blue ink that displays beautifully with no flaws whatsoever. A sticker has been affixed to the back cover of the guide, listing Crosby as the number one overall pick with the spelling of “Sydney”, oops. The inner pages remain excellent with no flaws or damage. Two remarkable rookie-era Crosby pieces waiting to become acquainted with your collection.
