The neckline is clean, showing no stress.
Fight Strap:
This fight strap is clean, as are the snaps.
Left Sleeve and Shoulder:
The left sleeve and shoulder show excellent game use. The cuff area shows general filth from puck and stick contact.
A team repair is evident on the elbow portion of the cuff. Another team repair can be found on the blue stripe
above the cuff that extends into the next white stripe. Team repairs are also found on the orange stripe and the white
stripe above it. Blackening from pucks and other contact are evident throughout the stripes.
A team repair is found on the white fabric above the stripes and to the borttom right of the "19". Tons of blackening
is found to both the left and right of the numbers as well. A few stray marks can be seen on the numbers. Other general
filth graces the remainder of the shoulder section.
Right Sleeve and Shoulder:
The right sleeve and shoulder show good game use. The cuff shows good general filth including a three-inch long
stick hack. Puck contact is evident. A small unrepaired hole can be found on the lower blue stripe in the
elbow area. A half-inch unrepaired hole cuts across the lower white and orange stripes, also on the elbow
patch. A three-inch team repair is found the upper white stripe and runs parallel to the striping. Good
blackening exists to the right of the numbers and also to the left of the numbers just above the blue stripe.
The numbers appear to be unscathed, save for a faint vertical black line on the "9". A couple of fabric snags are evident on the orange border between the white
and blue fabric of the shoulder.
Jersey Front:
The jersey front shows heavy game use. There is heavy filth on the front of the jersey from puck and
stick contact. The orange stripe has one inch rip in the fabric that went unrepaired. A long hack mark
is evident on the upper blue stripe when viewed closely. When viewing the jersey front, to the lower left of the crest
lies a team repair. In and around the repair there is a wealth of blackening from puck, stick, and board contact.
Blackening is found above the blue stripe on the left side as you view the sweater. The crest
has a couple of small black marks on it. Some black marks, faint as they are, can be seen above and to the left
of the crest.
Jersey Back:
The jersey back shows some game use. The stripes contain faint blackening on the left side as you view the jersey back.
A tiny hole can be found on the orange stripe towards the middle. Above the striping and under the "1"
of the jersey numbers is a red spot, probably board or pipe paint. All the way to the right of the numbers
is some excellent blackening from puck, stick, and board contact. Horizontal hack marks can be found on both numbers about midway down.
Blue board paint can be found to the left of the "1" and further to the left of the top of the
"1", and close to the bottom left edge of the nameplate, there is some blackening.
Other Notes:
This Semenov sweater shows very good game use and is one of three Semenov sweaters in my collection.
