Tags:

Patches:
There are no patches on this jersey.
Nameplate:
This jersey does not have a nameplate. Names were not used on the jersey (1972-73 EHL and 1973-74 NAHL).
Hemline:
The hemline shows excellent areas of pilling and broken white stitching.
Neck:
THe neckline exhibits little to no stress, though there are some spots of pilling.
Fight Strap:
There is no fight strap on this jersey.
Left Sleeve and Shoulder:
The left sleeve, on the cuff, shows some pilling and features a small slice less than an inch in length. The number "21" is sewn
onto the jersey. To the left of the "21" is a small stick mark. A small material snag can be seen between the numbers.
Right Sleeve and Shoulder:
The right sleeve/cuff shows some small spots of pilling. An unrepaired hole can be seen
just below the black stripe on the elbow patch. Loose black threads can be found near the hole. Broken stitching is also
visible on the elbow. More pilling can be seen on the stripes and what appears to be a very faint
puck mark can be found on the gold stripe. The numbers are sewn onto the sleeve and a loose thread
juts out from the "1". A small hole/slice can be seen to the right of the "1". A faint stick mark
is visible above the numbers. More pilling is found on the shoulder, but it is minor.
Jersey Front:
The jersey front is missing the crest/logo. In 1972-73, the Cape Cod Cubs used a round crest/logo when they played
in the EHL. In 1973-74, the jerseys were recycled and a rectangular crest/logo was placed on the
sweater as a member of the NAHL. Outlines from both of these logos are evident. Two holes where the upper corners of
of the rectangular crest/logo was are prominent. Some spots of pilling can be seen on the jersey front.
Jersey Back:
The jersey back features some spots of pilling. The "21" is screened onto the sweater. There is a small
unrepaired hole on the bottom of the "2" and some of the "2" is starting to fade. Some extra white stitching
at the top of the "2" is evident, as it is white threading on the black number. It is not stitched into the two, but overlaps it.
Other Notes:
Most people I have spoken to in the hobby have never even seen one of these jerseys and I have received
plenty of emails from the gameworn.net forum regarding this sweater. It was purchased from Drop The Gloves has become one
of the cornerstones of my collection. Please email me if you would like any further information on this sweater.
