With just over 700 games played between them at the time, the 2009 Winter Classic pitted the then-current Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings against the powerful Chicago Black Hawks at Wrigley Field before over 40,000 jubilant fans, with the Cup-holding Wings handing the Hawks a 6-4 defeat. This Red Wings jersey was worn in the photo-shoot and warm-up prior to the match by iconic defenceman Chris Chelios. A Reebok name band along with size tagging and a screened-on “W” are attached to the collar, with NHL and Reebok crests on the front and back necklines respectively. Featuring the old-English style “D” team crest originally used by the Detroit Cougars in 1926-27, the tie-neck garment with single striping band has been accented with double-twill numbers along with a winged-wheel crest over the right shoulder. Visible wear on the garment includes just a single faint stain beneath the collar. A MeiGray patch numbered F04852 sits on the inside hem, and according to their population report, the jersey is a "Worn During Photo-Shoot and WarmUp - NHLPA Set / White Retro - Winter Classic 1/1/2009" example. An LOA from the NHLPA will accompany.
