Circa 1977 Bill Hajt Buffalo Sabres game worn jersey is a marvelous specimen with stellar wear displayed throughout. Even though Hajt played for the Sabres for 14 years, we can pinpoint this jersey to pre-1978/79 due to the lack of Sabres logo patches on the shoulders. While the Sabres did wear nameplates for certain televised games prior to 1977-78, that was the first full season with nameplates. Jersey was definitively worn in 1977-78 and possibly earlier season(s) as well. Road blue jersey has Rawlings size 54 collar tag and comes with collar drawstring. Sabres running buffalo/crossed swords crest is on the chest, number 24 is on shoulders and back in yellow-on-white tackle twill, name is in yellow letters on a plate above the rear number. All original, displayed use includes some fraying of the central crest including some separation of the embroidery, as well as team repairs and abrasions. Original cloth loop fight strap is present. A stay-at-home defenseman, Hajt was one of the most dependable backliners of his era during his 14-year career, all spent with the Sabres on some of their best-ever teams.
