This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2016
Following the attacks of September 11, 2001 the New York Rangers and Buffalo Sabres played on October 7, 2001. The Rangers and Sabres both wore special jerseys with “New York” diagonally across the front instead of the traditional "Rangers". The night started with a touching pre-game ceremony honoring the men and women in uniform who died trying to save lives in the World Trade Center attacks. The NYPD and FDNY hockey teams lined up on the ice and the Rangers stood between them during their introductions. An LOA from MeiGray will accompany, along with a COR.
Size 56 tagging is affixed to the collar, with partially embroidered CCM and NHL patches on the back neckline and bottom hem respectively. Styled with drop shadow tackle twill numbers, including “New York” diagonally across the front, with the important 9/11 ribbon situated over the left shoulder. Game-wear includes marks on the lower front, along with board burns over each elbow.
Following the game, both sets of jerseys were auctioned off to raise money for the Twin Towers Fund, with the auctions eclipsing $215,000. Johansson scored his first goal as a NY Ranger during their 5-4 overtime win. The jersey has been signed on the back “2” for the auction, with “Andreas Johansson Love You All”. This jersey sold for $4,710.
