2013-2014 UMASS LOWELL BLUE ROAD SET
GAME USE & ABUSE: It is a dark jersey so stick marks will be hard to see. On the left sleeve I count two with both being in the white stripe. Three very solid board burns (one almost four inches in length) can be seen on the bottom sleeve area from the elbow down. The right sleeve shows off no real marks. A few scuffs can be seen on the lower blue forearm and a small 1/4 slice in the lower red stripe complete the wear. On the front of the jersey, no real wear to speak of outside a blue pain transfer on the white stripe above the 30th patch. The 30th patch was sewn over the Hockey East patch that is behind it and both shoulder patches are replacement patches. The back of this jersey shows off a tilted number three which leans to the right. Aside from that no other game wear can be seen on this jersey. The nameplate on the back for all the rookies were not shipped with the jerseys. Thus the equipment managers had to scramble to make nameplates up. These 'rookie' nameplates often feature thicker style letters from previous years.
