On the move for the third time in a year and a half, after time in Pittsburgh, Ottawa and New York, Martin Straka found himself on the Florida Panthers late in the 1995-96 season as they loaded up for their improbable run to the Stanley Cup Finals. From that season is this jersey worn by Czech born centre, Martin Straka. Size 54 and Maska tagging are affixed to the collar as is the Center Ice Authentic Collection label that is partially detached. Embroidered CCM and NHL logos decorate the bottom hem while the front is styled with a textured and embroidered Panthers team crest with alternate logo patches residing over each shoulder. Exhibiting good game wear, the lower front and reverse show numerous black marks while the sleeves show similar marks and board burns. The left sleeve also has an unrepaired hole and a paint transfer mark. A "1995-96" stamp from Potvin Sports is found on the inside rear hem. The jersey is photo-matched to Getty Image #1291642117 from the 1996-97 pre-season (September 28, 1996 vs Toronto) to the black marks found on the lower front. It should be noted that during the 1996-97 regular season the Panthers wore Starter jerseys in the regular season. An LOA from the Panthers will accompany.
