Edmonton Oilers x Wayne Gretzky [1981-88]


Featured today is a much sought after Edmonton Oilers Wayne Gretzky jersey in its road blue colourway. This is a custom piece without any company labels. Just like some jerseys in the collection, it was built from the ground up. The sweater itself was found at a thrift store with some recreation league logo on the front and a random number on the back. I did my best to strip the previous details, but unfortunately, some glue residue still remained.


I knew from the start this will not be a perfect looking jersey. The patch for the front was ordered online and it was taken to Game Day Sports to complete the job. The numbers are in triple layered tackle twill with a single colour name and name bar. Aside from the glue marks, this jersey is perfect.


Wayne Gretzky would would be featured on many magazine covers wearing this style all while tearing up scoring records in the National Hockey League.

"A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be." - Wayne Gretzky
