Cam Neely - CCM Airknit, size 52. The jersey has 7 red dots on the back side of the Maska tag. Also something is written on the backside of the fight strap in black sharpie but I can't make it out.  This was the first year the Bruins went to Airknit jerseys. 52 in pen on the Maska tag.

It is widely known that Cam Neely did not like the new Air-Knit material CCM jerseys when they first came out. How did this come about? (Thanks to a good friend and collector who has met Cam for the following information) Cam was playing a game December 20th 1987 vs. Chicago at Chicago, Cam gets into a fight against one of the Chicago players and when he was getting ready to throw his first punch his arm slips right out of the sleeve and his first punch instead of landing on the Hawks player face it lands in his jersey, needless to say Cam did not have a good fight. . After this game Cam demands that he gets to wear the old Ultrafil jersey, the Bruins accommodate him and he remained the only Bruins player for years to wear an Ultrafil knit jersey. 

That's what makes this jersey that much more rare, Cam only wears an Airknit jersey for approximately for 35 games. The game wear is great on this jersey, no repairs but lots of nice even wear, stick marks throughout, nice salt and rust in the fight strap.  And the blood oh my God the blood, its above the crest and on the neck line and shoulder area. Since this is a white jersey, I changed my lighting settings when I took the photo's so you can see the blood much better.  But you have to see it in your hands really take in the blood on this jersey.  The jersey has been autographed on the front by Cam, but at least its on the jersey itself which should be able to come out if that's what you like. 

I have also gone over this jersey with Milt Byron from Byron's Hockeyland. Since Neely's are highly faked in this hobby and Milt has seen a lot of them.  For more details please call us at 763-537-4572.
