Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Known as a power play specialist, more than half of Marc-Andre Bergeron's career goals and points came with the man advantage. Playing his junior hockey in the QMJHL with both the Baie-Comeau Drakkar and Shawinigan Cataractes, Bergeron would forge out a 490 game NHL career over 10 seasons. A Swiss League and Swiss Cup champion with the ZSC Lions in 2014 and 2016 respectively, offered here is this photo-matched Edmonton Oilers third jersey worn by Bergeron during the 2005-06 season of play. Made by Reebok, the classic tie-neck style offering of air-knit material features size "56" and "Elite Sportswear" labels affixed to the inner collar while a "Reebok" logo patch has been placed over the reverse neckline and the NHL should has been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front with an Oilers alternate team crest that features textured and embroidered details throughout its entirety and was designed by legendary comic book artist and writer Todd McFarlane, matching secondary logo patches have been placed overtop of both shoulders as well. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Bergeron's number "47" in stacked tri-layer tackle twill numerals, "Bergeron" is spelt out in single layer white twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Worn for a total of three (3) games at the end of the regular season, the jersey displays good game-wear in the form of an unrepaired hole over the lower front, a stick mark over the reverse hem, an unrepaired small cut in the white stripe of the left sleeve and a couple of light board burns throughout, it is also worth noting that there is some spot staining over the right sleeve and hem plus that the sleeves appear to have been shortened to Bergeron's liking. Exhibiting light pilling on the interior and having had an Oilers team tag denoting the jersey as a "2005-2006 Set #2" offering sewn inside the reverse hem, a MeiGray tag numbered "C03593" has been added alongside it, with the company's population report listing the jersey as a "Third Set #2" offering. Regarding the photo-match, the jersey has been matched with Getty Image #57352891 (March 30th, 2006 vs Los Angeles) to the loose white thread coming off the front crest and to the unrepaired hole over the lower front.
