Vintage AHL Springfield Indians jersey, worn from mid-January 1975 through to the end of the Calder Cup Finals that spring when the Indians would win it all. Tagged in the collar as a "Champion (size) 48", this mesh jersey has the Indian head logo, number "6" on back and shoulders, and hem and sleeve stripes all heat-pressed on. Condition-wise sees, along with marks and board burns scattered about, several team repairs including 2 on the right sleeve, 3 on the front, and a couple more on the back. Areas of the heat-pressed paint have cracked slightly as well. An absolute gem of a classic AHL gamer with nice game wear, and comes with a Classic LOA.
The Springfield Indians changed their name to the Kings in 1968 when the franchise became part of the L.A. Kings fold, and even changed the colors to purple and gold like their parent team. But in ’74-75, Eddie Shore once again took full control, changed the name back to the Indians, went back to the original blue, white, and red uniforms for the season, and captured the club’s fifth Calder Cup. Truly an awesome game-worn jersey from a tremendously important chapter in Springfield hockey.
