1985-86 Bob Brooke Road jersey (MeiGray Vintage)

This is Bob Brooke's 1985-86 road sweater with the beautiful diagonal "New York" style on the front.. Dozens of team repairs, stick marks, paint transfer.. A true classic of a very good Ranger while he was on my beloved team.  During the 1985-86 regular season Brooke scored 24 goals and added 20 assists for 44 points and was an instrumental part of the Rangers run to the Wales Conference finals 6 goals and 9 assists for 15 points in 16 games.  He had a memorable OT winner at Madison Square Garden vs. Washington Capitals in round 2 and scored memorable goals against the Philadelphia Flyers in round 1.
Thanks to Barry Meisel at the MeiGray Group for helping me obtain this great sweater.

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.
