48 Scott Young
1995-1996 Inaugural Season
Starter Mesh.
No set tag. Neck tagging 56-R.
This jersey was acquired from the Colorado Avalanche during one of their first jersey auctions at McNichols Arena in March 1996. Although none of the first-year jerseys had a set mark, this jersey is believed to be from the first regular season set. It was rumored that the first jerseys were not holding together very well, which can be seen in the unraveling seams on this jersey. Another interesting point on this jersey, which is typical of the first Avalanche jerseys, is that the nameplate is not cut to shape very evenly, suggesting that the plate itself was hand cut. Also note the smaller crest, stylized letters, and blocked Starter logo on the first-year jerseys. The jersey shows very good game use, with numerous marks, small tears and burns throughout. Of note is the excessive wear on the sleeve numbers, where the texture on the face of the numbers is frayed from use. The front of the jersey has several very good black marks. The jersey comes with the Avalanche notarized LOA that accompanied all of the auctioned jerseys.
