The 1st overall pick of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, Sidney Crosby has played in over 1200 National Hockey League games since his career began, every one of them in the black and gold uniform of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Owning a trophy case that includes numerous awards such as a trio of Stanley Cup championships, a pair of Olympic gold medals, two (2) Art Ross Trophies, two (2) Hart Trophies, and two (2) Conn Smythe Trophies along with many others, offered here is this Penguins jersey worn by Crosby during the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs against both the Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Rangers in the first and second rounds for a total of seven (7) games. Made by Reebok and featuring a lone size "56" label affixed to the inner collar, logo crests for both the NHL and Reebok grace the front and reverse necklines respectively. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a Penguins team crest that features both textured and embroidered details, the distinguished captain's "C" that Sid has worn throughout the majority of his career appears over the left breast. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Crosby's familiar number "87" in stacked tri-layer tackle twill numerals, "Crosby" is spelt out in matching style letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Retaining its fight strap on the interior and showing a sewn in Penguins team tag that denotes the jersey as being a "2013-2014 Playoff Game Jersey" offering, Penguins equipment manager, Dana Heinze, has signed on the inside of the fight strap, which also has had a JerseyTRAK sensor sewn onto it underneath a piece of black twill. Accompanied by a Penguins COA and JerseyTrak document listing the games the piece was worn in, game-wear on the piece includes just a few marks present on the lower front and over the left sleeve, with some loose threading on both cuffs.
