A longtime member of the famous CSKA Moscow squad throughout the late-1980s, Valeri Kamensky made his NHL debut with Quebec, and transitioned with the club when they relocated to Colorado, winning a Stanley Cup championship in 1996 after registering a career-high total of 85 points (38 goals and 47 assists) in 81 games during the regular season and another 22 points (10 goals and 12 assists) during the playoffs. Offered here, we present this Avalanche jersey worn by Kamensky during the club's inaugural and Stanley Cup winning season of 1995-96. Made by Starter, the all-mesh construction garment sports both "NHL Center Ice Authentic Collection" and size "56-G" labeling affixed to the inner collar while Starter and NHL shield logos have been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front with a familiar Avalanche team crest that features embroidered details, matching "Bigfoot" alternate logo patches have been added over both shoulders as well. It should be noted that the offered jersey also sports the 1996 Stanley Cup championship patch over the right breast, with these added to jerseys as the team advanced to the finals. The patches were also added to all jerseys after the finals by the Colorado staff, including our example. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Kamensky's number "13" in stacked tri-layer textured tackle twill numerals while "Kamensky" is spelt out in textured black twill letters in a gentle arch over the affixed matching nameplate. Signed by Kamensky through the top of the front crest with a black marker ink signature that displays with moderate fading from age, the jersey shows wear in the form of a stick mark over the reverse and light board burns over the front as well as both sleeves.
