Registering a regular season record of 38-28-14 during the 1989-90 regular season, the Edmonton Oilers would defeat the Winnipeg Jets, Los Angeles Kings, Chicago Blackhawks and finally, the Boston Bruins in the 1990 Stanley Cup Finals to capture the franchise's fifth and most recent Stanley Cup championship and the first without the likes of Wayne Gretzky on the roster. A key contributor to Edmonton's Cup run with 24 points in 22 games played during the playoffs, offered here is this custom varsity jacket that was presented by the Oilers to star forward Esa Tikkanen. Made by Roots, with two (2) of the company's patches sewn on to the interior, the wool and leather garment is decorated over the front with "Oilers" in layered felt and chenille letters that have been individually affixed in a gentle arch while "Roots" is spelt out on the reverse in layered leather letters that have been applied in matching style. Featuring a blue wool body and navy sleeves, the snap buttons down the front are orange in colour while the hem, cuffs and collar are in a blue, white and orange knit style. Accented over the left sleeve with other layered felt and chenille patches in the form of "Esa", "90" and the Stanley Cup, which has had a "4" embroidered into it to denote the number of championships Tikkanen had won with the Oilers during their dynasty years, the right sleeve features Tikkanen's number "10", also done in layered felt and chenille numbers as well as a custom Roots/NHL patch and an additional Roots logo patch as well. Tagged a size "XXL" on the interior, the piece remains in excellent condition, showing only light wear throughout the exterior and interior with no unsightly flaws being observed other than some light soiling along the edge of the collar, cuffs and hem. Hailing from his personal collection, an LOA signed by Tikkanen will accompany the piece.
