1958-59 Pierre Pilote Chicago Black Hawks Game Worn Jersey
One of the most feared defensemen in the Original Six of the NHL, Pete, as he was commonly referred to by his teammates and friends, quickly proved that despite his size he would be a force in the National Hockey League. Pilote’s reputation as a tough guy who should be respected was solidified after knocking out Henri and Maurice Richard in the same mix-up against the Canadiens. From the beginning of the 1956-57 season until the 1961-62 season, Pilote played in an astonishing 376 consecutive games for the Hawks. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1975, Pilote also served as Captain in the Windy City beginning in the 1961-62 season as he led Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita in old Chicago Stadium. This fantastic offering comes directly from Pierre Pilote himself and is accompanied by an LOA signed by the rugged defenseman. The beautiful Black Hawks crest is sewn high up on the chest of this wool jersey with very faint evidence of it being moved slightly at some point by the team. This road, white jersey also features the traditional tomahawks on each arm, however, this style can be pinpointed to the 1958-59 season due to the #3 on each sleeve being sewn above the tomahawks on the sleeves. Sammy Frager Boxing Gloves Etc. – Midwest Gym – Chicago tag in the lower front right hemline. A size 48 tag is sewn adjacent to the Frager tag in the hem. One team repair appears on the upper back neck area. Pilling is also evident on the inside and the lower back hem from Pilote’s hockey pants. An extremely rare style and one of the greatest jerseys ever designed. Fantastic!
