Boston Bruins Raymond Bourque 1997-1998 NHL Hockey Jersey (46/Medium)

Boston Bruins 1997-1998 Ray Bourque “Pooh Bear” Third Jersey

Size: 46 (Medium)

Brand/Model: Starter Authentic

Condition: 8/10. Small scuff on the back of the jersey near the arm pit (see closeup photo). Jersey material also has minor pilling in some areas. Overall in very good gently worn condition.

Five time Norris Trophy winner (and 6 time runner up) Ray Bourque is undoubtedly one of the best to ever play the game, and rarely did he look better than when he donned the infamous Pooh Bear alternate.

This jersey features on-ice accurate bruins style name and numbers, with team specific details that are commonly incorrect on custom jerseys. If you look closely, you’ll see that the numbers and letters are actually a single layer of twill with a sublimated yellow with white edges. Typically you’d see two separate layers of twill, one stacked on the other, but this single layer is meant to look like two layers because of the yellow stitching along the edges of the yellow sublimation. This super unique detail mixes lightweight functionality with the look of that classic 2 layer number. A small but important detail that I believe no other team utilizes.

If you need this 90s gem for your collection, snag it now before it’s gone for good!
