Avs vs. Sabres. February 1, 2014
All of the game worn and game issued Avalanche jerseys in my collection have a story behind them since they were either worn in or were prepared to be worn in NHL games. The retail authentic jerseys in my collection generally replicate a game worn jersey so they usually don't have their own unique stories. The jersey that I'm wearing to this afternoon's game is a HUGE exception to that rule.
This jersey began its life as a blank game issued 2001 All Star jersey. Someone acquired it, used it to play hockey in, and then listed in on eBay. I then took a gamble when I won it on eBay and transformed it to what you see above. This blog post covers this jersey's journey back to glory:

Two more big points are available this afternoon. Two points that would get the Avalanche that much closer to earning a playoff spot.
Let's Go Avs.
