A veteran of 822 National Hockey League games after being selected 22nd overall by the Philadelphia Flyers at the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, Simon Gagne would play 691 of his games in the league wearing Philly's black and orange colours but would finally achieve a Stanley Cup championship as a member of the Los Angeles Kings in 2012. Representing his home country of Canada on numerous occasions throughout his career, which included an Olympic gold medal in 2002, offered here is this photo-matched Los Angeles Kings jersey worn by Gagne during the Kings Stanley Cup championship season of 2011-12. A "vintage style throwback to Los Angeles' original purple and yellow uniforms, the Reebok made garment features a lone size "54" label affixed to the inner collar while the NHL and Reebok logos have been added to the front and reverse necklines respectively. Styled over the front with a vintage Kings crown team crest that features beautifully embroidered details throughout, the sleeves and verso of the jersey have had Gagne's number "12" sewn to them in dual-layer yellow-over-white tackle twill numerals, "Gagne" is spelt out in matching style letters that have been affixed directly to the material of the upper back. Having had a Kings team tag added inside the reverse hem that denotes the piece as an "Official 2011-2012 Game Jersey", a MeiGray tag numbered "I04676" has been added inside the reverse hem as well, with the company's population report listing it as a "Vintage Set 1" offering.
Worn in just one (1) of the three (3) games the jersey was designated for, the piece remains in excellent condition with no discernible signs of game-wear and is accompanied by a matching LOA. Regarding the photo-match, the jersey has been matched with Getty Image #135481307 (December 10th, 2011 vs Dallas) to the extra bit of threading off the end of the middle portion of the "2" on the left arm.
