A member of the Russian and Soviet Hockey Hall of Fame, with his 28 Olympic games-played a record among Russian national team players, Darius Kasparaitis enjoyed an especially lengthy NHL career, with numerous seasons spent with the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders while also enjoying stints with the Colorado Avalanche and New York Rangers as well. A three-time Olympic medalist and a veteran of 863 National Hockey League game, offered here is this Team Russia jersey worn by Kasparaitis at the 2006 Turino Winter Olympic Games. Made by Nike, "Made in USA", size "62" and Nike Swoosh logos/designations are affixed to the inner collar along with an IIHF Authentic Collection label while an additional Nike logo has been screened on over the right breast. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a Russian coat of arms crest that features beautifully embroidered details, "Russia" appears below it in embroidered Cyrillic letters over red twill, matching the crest above. Featuring matching Russia coat of arms crests that have been screened on over both shoulders, the distinguished alternate captain's "A" has been added over the left breast in a single layer white twill letter that has been heat pressed on and is lifting at the edges in places. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Kasparaitis' number "11" in either screened on or vinyl numerals, "Kasparaitis" has been spelt out in screened on single layer white coloured letters across the affixed matching nameplate over the upper reverse. Exhibiting overall good game-wear, the jersey sports stick marks over the front, reverse and both sleeves while board burns are observed over both sleeves as well. Additionally, a small unrepaired cut is present over the right shoulder and there is good pilling on the interior. Hailing from Kasparaitis' personal collection and accompanied by his signed LOA, the jersey has been photo-matched with Getty Image #56937683 (February 25th, 2006 vs Czech Republic - 2006 Winter Olympics Bronze Medal Game) to the long board burn to the right of the second "1" on the right shoulder as well as to the small cut/hole on the right shoulder as well.
