2001-02 Martin Rucinsky Set 1 Road with 9/11 Commemorative Patch (MeiGray)

2001-02 Martin Rucinsky with 9/11 patch.. Nice board burns, pilling and team repair on left elbow.. Great sweater from this season.. A wonderful, historical sweater with a lot of sentimental value to me as a NYer and an American... The Rangers honored all of the victims of the 9/11 tragedy with the ribbon on the left sleeve.. 

Rucinsky came to the NY Rangers from the Dallas Stars on 3/12/02 and played 8 games in this sweater scoring 3 goals and 7 assists... The jersey has been photo matched to a game against the Florida Panthers on 3/30/02



 The 9/11 commemorative patch adorns this beautiful sweater from this season

 Here is a photo of Rucinsky wearing this sweater in a game vs the Toronto Maple Leafs on 4/4/2002

2007-08 Fedor Tyutin Hall of Fame Game (MeiGray)

This is Fedor Tyutin's game worn NY Rangers sweater from the Hall of Fame game played on November 10th, 2007 against the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.. It was Hall of Fame induction weekend in Toronto as Mark Messier was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.  The Rangers beat the Maple Leafs 3-2 in a shootout with Marcel Hossa scoring the game winner.  The Tyutin sweater has very light use, with just a light board burn on the cuff and some minor pilling. This is expected as it was only worn for one game. It has the fabulous 2007 Hall of Fame Induction patch on the shoulder and is the rare Reebok Edge 1.0 with custom hem done by the team.  
The famous NY Rangers custom hem done by the team to give the new Reebok Edge 1.0 sweater a cleaner look. 
 The 2007 Hall of Fame Induction patch, the highlight of this sweater.
 Here is a photo of Tyutin wearing this sweater as he finishes his check of Jason Blake of the Toronto Maple Leafs Toronto on 11/10/2007.

This Chris Kreider's 2013 game worn rookie road sweater (set 2) from the strike shortened 2013 season..

2012 John Mitchell NHL Winter Classic Period 1 (MeiGray)

This is John Mitchell's New York Rangers 2012 NHL Winter Classic game worn sweater. Mitchell wore this jersey throughout the 1st period on January 2nd, 2012 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. The 5th annual NHL Winter Classic was played in front of 46,967 fans that saw the Rangers take a 3-2 win in a thriller. The sweater displays very light use with a few light stick marks on sleeves. The Winter Classic jerseys have been very difficult to obtain as they have disappeared into collections. This sweater is one of my favorites and will stay in my collection for many years to enjoy..

2006-2007 Michael Nylander Set 1 Road (Meigray)

This is Michael Nylander's game worn road sweater set 1 for the 2006-07 season.  Nylander came to the Rangers the year before and immediately made his presence felt.  He was masterful centering the Rangers first power play unit with Jaromir Jagr.  Nylander wore this sweater in 14 road games, scoring 6 goals and adding 14 assists for 20 points.  Nylander only skated for the Rangers for two seasons but undoubtedly had his best two years with NY. He was key in ending the Rangers long 7 year playoff drought.  This sweater has been photo matched in several road games in the first half of 2006-07 season. It has several stick marks, board burns and team repairs. 




Here are two photos of Nylander wearing this sweater in a game vs the Los Angeles Kings on 10/30/2006.
