Description
1979 Merlin Malinowski Rockies Game Worn Jersey
Lot #13

This home white heavy mesh and knit gamer by Rawlings was worn by Merlin Malinowski during the 1979 NHL season. Malinowski was a rookie in 1978-79 and played in 54 games for the Rockies that season. He would represent the club for 3 more seasons and was part of the franchise’s transfer to New Jersey. Early during the 1982-83 season, Merlin was dealt to Hartford where he completed his NHL career.

This beautiful sweater shows fine game use consisting of numerous stick marks, board burns, loads of the Rockies hometown orange board paint transfer and inner pilling. A custom coin and lace fight strap once resided below the rear numbers but has since been removed. The Rockies existed for a mere 6 seasons and their gamers continue to remain in high demand amongst the collecting public.
