A signed Mike Bossy game-worn sweater from the 1984 Stanley Cup Final is scheduled for auction. The CCM mesh jersey was photo-matched to Game 1 on May 10, 1984, and Game 2 on May 12, 1984. It features the Islanders crest, Bossy’s No. 22 on sleeves and back, and “BOSSY” on a white nameplate. The inside neck includes a CCM label with Bossy’s handwritten “22” and a “04-84” born-on date. The jersey shows authentic game wear such as stick and slash marks, board burns, paint transfer, stitch pops, inner pilling, and an unrepaired hole. Bossy signed the back with “Mike Bossy HOF 91.”
"A signed Mike Bossy game-worn sweater from the 1984 Stanley Cup Final is being auctioned off by Grey Flannel Auctions after being photo-matched to Game 1 on May 10, 1984, and Game 2 on May 12, 1984. The white, blue, and orange CCM mesh jersey comes from one of the most significant stretches in NHL history, when the Islanders were chasing a fifth consecutive Stanley Cup during their “Drive for Five” that fell a few games short."
"Inside the back of the neck is a CCM label with Bossy's No. 22 handwritten in faded black marker, along with a “04-84” born-on date sewn below it. The Islanders crest sits across the front, with No. 22 in blue-on-orange tackle twill on the sleeves and back. “BOSSY” appears in blue tackle twill on a white nameplate, and the jersey shows authentic game wear, including stick and slash marks, board burns, paint transfer, stitch pops, inner pilling and an unrepaired hole."
"Bossy signed the second “2” on the back in silver marker: “Mike Bossy HOF 91.” The sweater itself is packed with details collectors crave. Inside the back of the neck is a CCM label with Bossy's No. 22 handwritten in faded black marker, along with a “04-84” born-on date sewn below it."
"By 1984, the Islanders had already won four straight Cups from 1980 through 1983 and had swept the Edmonton Oilers in the previous year's Final. Their return to the championship round in 1984 marked the continuation of a record-setting run: 19 consecutive playoff series victories, an NHL mark that still stands. However, Wayne Gretzky and the Oilers would end the dynasty in five games."
