1982-83 and 83-84 Boston Bruins         posted 3-21-05

Terry O'Reilly  - Sandow mesh, size 52. Missed majority of 1982-83 season recovering from finger injury suffered in game vs. NY Islanders (November 18, 1982) and knee injury suffered in game vs. Vancouver, December 31, 1982, games played in 82-83 season 19.  Missed part of 1983-84 season with series of shoulder injuries, games played in 83-84 58 games.  Boston Captain: During 1979-80 season while Wayne Cashman was injured.1983-84 through 1984-85. This jersey is photo matched to the photo to the right, the match is below the bear patch you can see the huge orange board paint on the left shoulder.  Here is what is interesting about this photo, this is a training camp photo from 83-84 and you can clearly see O'Reilly's Captains "C". Behind him is Jim Schoenfeld and he only plays with the Bruins in 83-84 season, meaning this jersey was used in the 82-83 season, recycled into training camp were the nameplate is stripped off and the "C" put on then recycled into the regular season of 83-84 first half hence the newer looking heavier mesh nameplate.  In 81-82 the Sandow crests were high and in 82-83 the crest were lower. This jersey has been matched against common players jerseys from this era and they all show newer nameplates. Special thanks goes out to Rich Gagnon for help in researching this jersey.

1977-78 & 78-79 Boston Bruins         posted 1-18-05

Terry O'Reilly  - Stall and Dean mesh, size 54.  Terry's #24 is a retired Bruins number. This jersey is Photo Matched.  1978 year tag in collar, with Stall and Dean tag, size tag and washing instructions tag.  This jersey shows so much game use its incredible. The Bruins were notorious for recycling jerseys, this jersey was used in the 1977-78 season, then the name plate was removed for preseason and then a new plate was added at the beginning of the 78-79 season. The photo match is the obvious (1) board burn across the bear head patch on the right shoulder, then the not so obvious (2) the loose thread of the "Y" on the nameplate, it can be clearly seen on the photo and the jersey.

Game Wear: 204 Goals, 2000+ pm's     

Right Sleeve - Over 30+ team repairs, its just silly, it could be more.  Most of the repairs just blend into many huge clumps of repairs, the sleeve is almost solid with repairs.  Also, burns, stick marks and elastic cuffs.
Left Sleeve -  Over 30+ repairs again,  It all depends on how you count them.  Repairs bleed into other repairs making huge repairs.  Stick marks, burns and elastic cuffs.
Front - Repair on the "V" collar, 3 repairs towards the hem, heavy pilling on the bottom knit hem stripe. Some stick marks and burns.
Back - Again you can see were the 77-78 nameplate was, there are 4 repairs below the nameplate showing evidence of this, it was then stripped off for the 78-79 preseason, then a new nameplate was added for the 78-79 regular season.  The gold tackle twill in the name is sewn on identical as the numbers with a 2 cm width zigzag stitch. The White tackle twill is sewn in a tighter zigzag stitch.  The name and nameplate do show fraying.  21 team repairs on the back.  
Fight Strap - Double garter belt style fight strap.
Inside - Very nice interior pilling throughout the whole jersey.
