1996-97 Richard Persson New Jersey Devils Game Worn Jersey - Team Letter
Lot #75
This road red air-knit gamer by CCM was worn by Ricard Persson during the 1996-97 NHL season. The New Jersey Devils selected Persson in the 2nd round of the 1987 NHL Entry Draft. Following 8 seasons in his native Sweden, Persson made his NHL debut in 1995-96 with the Devils. Over the course of his 7-year NHL career, Persson represented the Devils, the St. Louis Blues and finally the Ottawa Senators. In 2002, Persson returned to Europe where he played professionally before retiring in 2010.

The game wear on this size 54 sweater consists of stick and slash marks, material pulls and inner pilling, most consistent with Ricard’s brief playing time before being acquired by the Blues in-season. On the inside hem is the official New Jersey Devils game worn jersey stamp. A nice example from Persson’s brief time in New Jersey at the outset of his NHL career. This jersey will be accompanied by a Devils team letter.
