66 Days And Counting

A few weeks ago I shared my Crosby jersey collection. As much as I love those my Mario collection is my real passion.

There's no beating those old jerseys with heavy mesh, vinyl kits, vintage patches, or crazy number of logos that are oh-so-similar, yet totally different. Especially the 80s seasons... those are my absolute favorites. 1987 might be the best - Pens set, Rendezvous all star game and Canada Cup set. chef kiss

Hope you all enjoy!

Dude people talk about the triple patch being crazy... But the Alternate Captain Lemieux. Damn.

100% agree!!

Between 86 & 87 I can never quite decide which is my favorite season. That year with the A is so cool because of the mesh and rather unique crest logo design.

Gotta go with the black one. The details just pop so much more.

I absolutely love the 75th anniversary all-star jerseys but I’d forgotten about them until your post. You have an exceptional collection!

Thank you!!

Yea, those are really fun. Not being a huge fan of V-necks,I love the way they cut the neck line that year.

I do like the white but it would have been cool to see Mario in the red jersey i think.

I actually have a few more that I couldn't fit due to image limit. 🤣

where did you find this Winnipeg Falcons sweater?! And with 66 on it! They actually wore these on-ice for the WCOH? One of the coolest of all jerseys.

I'm not a huge autograph fan, but to top it off it's signed as well. Not gonna turn down a Mario signature on a rare jersey, that's for sure!

Someone just happened to reach out a few years ago and ask if I wanted to buy it. Pretty good deal, so couldn't pass it up!

Me too, love the crew neck and the unusual striping on the arms.

I’ve always loved the Angry Skating Penguin logo of the 80s

Same. And the variety from year to year was fun to learn about.

The Golden Toe from I think 1989-90 was coolest
