Interesting fact: Most of the jerseys made were size 52. To adjust the sizing after printing, Keybec sewed in solid red dyed inserts into both sides of the body to create sizes 54, 56, and 58. Many size tags were written over by hand at the factory with a ballpoint pen. Thus a 52 might have an 8 written over the 2. The only way to be sure in these cases was to look for the tell tale inserts and try the jersey on for fit and comfort. Also, Keybec judged a size 52 to equate to size XXL, while most manufacturers consider size 52 to be size XL.

To collectors, this may be the most elusive authentic. Since the names were dye subbed onto the namebar, the only authentics in existence were team issued. There are two known Tyler Wright jerseys (one of which is hanging in the Penguins offices) and two known Dennis Bonvie jerseys. The remainder of the roster had only one sweater per player made. The fight strap was stitched into the issued jersey.
