The only defenceman in history to register a pair of 40-goal seasons, Paul Coffey earned a trio of James Norris Trophies throughout his lengthy Hall of Fame career while dressing for nine different clubs. From his time in Motor City, we have a Detroit Red Wings alternate captain’s jersey worn by the superstar in 1993-94. An especially desirable and rarely seen “Turn Back the Clock” specimen, worn for just a handful of contests vs other Original Six clubs including the January 27th match vs Chicago, the jersey sports sewn-down East Side and CCM labeling along the collar with a size “50” fly tag, with embroidered NHL and CCM crests over the reverse hem. Styled with numerous red and white striping bands along with “Detroit” placed across the chest in individual white twill letters, “77” is sewn to the verso in layered tackle twill, with “Coffey” across the nameplate in matching material. The team stamp resides on the inside hem. Coffey would net an impressive 77 points in 80 games during the 1993-94 NHL season. Exhibiting great game-use with puck and stick marks over the front, and additional marks over each sleeve, there is also a large board burn over the left elbow. A pair of matching uniform socks that show use with a single team repair is also included, with these originating from an unknown player. Addendum; This jersey originates from the collection of a former Detroit Red Wings trainer. He recalls that an extra jersey was made for Yzerman, for Fedorov and for Coffey and that these players wore this extra jersey in the first two periods of the January 27th game vs Chicago. The Yzerman jersey went to someone else in the Red Wings organization and the offered Fedorov and Coffey jerseys up for grabs in this auction are the ones kept by our consignor (the trainer) and worn in the first two periods of the January 27th game. Jersey is now photo-matched to a screen grab from the January 27th game which is clearly showing the long diagonal black mark on the front lower hem. An image of the match was added to the listing.
