A Memorial Cup champion with the Oshawa Generals in 1990, Fred Brathwaite would see himself stand between the pipes in a total of 254 National Hockey League games over the course of his career for four (4) different clubs including Edmonton, Calgary, St. Louis and Columbus. Hailing from a season that saw him start the year on the Canadian National Team and then be signed as a free agent by the Calgary Flames, offered here is this Flames jersey worn by Brathwaite during the 1998-99 season. Made by CCM, both "Goalie Style" and size "58" tags are affixed to the inner collar while the CCM and NHL shield logos have been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front with Calgary's familiar team crest in layered tackle twill, the sleeves and verso have been accented with Brathwaite's number "40" in dual layer red-over-black tackle twill numerals on the sleeves and stacked tri-layer numbers on the reverse. Displaying "Brathwaite" spelt out in dual layer white-over-black tackle twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse, the jersey shows light game-wear via a few puck marks spread throughout the front and both sleeves while some puckering is found in the front crest from washings. With more evidence of washing found at the hip tag on the interior, the fight strap remains fairly clean with some light salting and rusting observed in and on the snaps. Finally, a Flames team stamp denoting the jersey as being a 1998-1999 "Red Jersey #2 of 2" offering is found over the inside reverse hem and Fred has signed the jersey over the "0" on the reverse with a black marker ink signature that displays well despite some light bleeding.
