A well-worn example from the gateway to the west worn by defenseman Bob Hess as a rookie during the 1974-75 NHL season. Rawlings size 48 tag in the collar. The front has various markings and stains along with two board burns along the front hem on the right side opposite three team repairs on the left. The bluenote crest features three additional team repairs. The right sleeve displays light stick marks, board burns, and red paint transfers. The left sleeve shows heavier stick marks, board burns, and red paint transfers. Nine team repairs are above the number “23” on the back where a nameplate once resided. Heavy red paint transfer is on the back left hip. Cloth fight strap with leather loop still intact. Light pilling inside each sleeve.
