Dave Schultz 1974 - 1975 Philadelphia Flyers Photo Matched Game Used Jersey

This is one of the most important enforcers jersey in the hobby. Dave Schultz lead the world in penalty minutes during the 1974-75 season and this jersey shows those exact signs of the Hammer at work. Blood spatter adorns the back front and sides and collar of this amazing relic. Hammered jersey in every sense of the word with popped stitching throughout, puck marks, heavy pilling inside and out with repairs to the collar, right sleeve right below the number 8 and heavy sewing done to the back 8. The fight strap has also been reinforced several times and remains strongly affixed. Size tag in the collar curled up but reads L.  This season was the only year that the arm numbers were very low near the V of the black colour material. The first photo match is of the left arm number 8. In the photo, Schultz is being restrained by long time referee John D'Amico, you can notice the threads being popped in the cluster above the number in the exact spot as well as a white spot where the tear has yet to be repaired. There is also a small white area in the top black of the 8 which shows the area where the 8 has been torn down. The spacing was altered due to this repair making it closer to the black material than when new as you can see in the photos, the material had to be pinched from behind to close the hole you see in the photo. In the second photo match, you can see where the name plate is coming away from the jersey which can be seen in the photos of this 1975 relic. A Drop the Gloves Certificate is also included with the jersey.

Dave Schultz was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in 1969, 5th round, 52nd overall.  He quickly earned the nickname "the Hammer" for his aggressive style of hockey and was one of the most notable enforcers on the Philadelphia Flyers famous “Broad Street Bullies”.  In the 1974-75 season his willingness to drop the gloves to protect his teammates, resulted in him spending 472 minutes in the penalty box, setting an NHL record for the most penalty minutes in one season. A record that still stands. Schultz was one of the most feared fighters in the NHL back in the 1970’s and a key catalyst during the Philadelphia Flyer’s back-to-back Stanley Cup Championships in 1974 and 1975. He played in 535 games for 11 seasons, from 1969–1980 and finished his career with 2,294 penalty minutes and 200 points.
