Moving to the bright lights of Manhattan to join the New York Rangers in 2001-02 after spending the first eight (8) years of his National Hockey League career in the "City of Brotherly Love" as a member of the Philadelphia Flyers, Eric Lindros would register 73 points in 72 games played during his first of three (3) seasons with the Blueshirts. Offered here, we present this photo-matched "Lady Liberty" third jersey worn by Lindros during that 2001-02 campaign. A Koho made garment that features both size "58" and "Made in Canada labels affixed to the inner collar, a Koho logo patch has been added over the reverse neckline and the NHL shield has been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front with a Rangers Statue of Liberty head alternate crest that displays embroidered details, matching alternate logo patches have been added over top of each shoulder while the 9/11 memorial patch has been placed over the right breast alongside the alternate captain's "A" that has been sewn over the left breast. Having had Lindros' number “88” sewn to the sleeves and verso in tri-layer tackle twill numerals, “Lindros” is spelt out in matching style in letters that have been arched across the upper back and sewn directly onto the jersey. Exhibiting good game-wear, stick marks and board burns are observed over the front, reverse, shoulders and both sleeves of the jersey while additional wear is present in the form of numerous small unrepaired cuts and holes over both sleeves, coloured board paint transfer marks and a pair of team repairs to the left sleeve as well. Having had a Rangers “2001-2002 Season Set 1 Game Jersey” team patch added inside the reverse hem as well as an Ice Violence tag attached to the fight strap, a “2001-02 Set 1” MeiGray patch is also present, with a Rangers LOA and MeiGray COR accompanying the piece. Regarding the previously mentioned photo-match, the jersey is matched with Getty Image #53129406 (December 14th, 2001 vs Carolina) to the loose threads coming off the bottom of the alternate captain's "A" and front crest (right side near the end of the bottom spike).
