On Friday, November 28, 2008, the Flyers introduced a striking new Third jersey that brought back memories of their Stanley Cup past.
The Flyers that night wore jerseys that replicated the style they wore during the 1973-74 season, when the Broad Street Bullies won the first of their two consecutive Stanley Cups. The Flyers wore this RBK Edge 2.0 jersey throughout their 3-2 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Nov. 28 at Wachovia Center, and again on Tuesday, Dec. 2 when they defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-3 in OT at Wachovia Center.
The Philadelphia Flyers-MeiGray Group Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program is proud to offer collectors across the globe the opportunity to own a piece of history …… the actual jersey worn by #47 Luca Sbisa. Sbisa wore this jersey in both games.
This Third Set 1 jersey is a Size 56 and is registered into the PHI-MGG Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program as number F04530. This jersey is one-of-a-kind, since the Flyers elected to alter the style of numbers on their Third jerseys after wearing this jersey in two games. The Flyers elected to match their 2008-09 home and road jerseys for the remaining games in which they will wear this alternate jersey.
Each jersey was security-tagged before the game, and authenticated by a PHI-MGG Program Director. There was only one set of jerseys made up for these two games.
Additionally, every jersey worn throughout the 2008-09 NHL season by the Flyers contains a uniquely numbered inventory tag sewn into the jersey BEFORE IT IS WORN BY THE PLAYER ON THE ICE. This tag is equipped with covert security features regularly checked by PHI-MGG Program Directors so we can tell who wore the jersey, and when.
