IBleedUnionBlue Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Huge fan of Ryan Kesler since his Ohio State days. Here is a link I found with a gamer from 04-05 with the Moose. My link But there is a guy selling an authentic on ebay. Not knowing the Moose jersey history, would this be from the 03-04 season? My link Thanks for any help. I'm unable to find any pix or old trading cards with Ryan wearing the jersey being sold on ebay as an authentic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcdude Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Don't know your answer, but Ryan did play around 33 games with the Moose in 03-04, so I would look for that era in looking this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabinsurance Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 That jersey could have been worn from the 01-02 season (Manitoba's first in the AHL), to the 04-05 season, before the AHL switched from SP to Reebok. IIRC, for a while, the Moose used the logo on the green jersey, the retrofitted old Minnesota Moose logo, and the new, current Moose logo as alternates. It's plausible that Keeler wore the green jersey in the 03-04 season, but I don't remember exactly when they stopped using it. I remember seeing that jersey used in person, the Canucks' shoulder patch stood out on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guam64 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 It's shouldn't be from 01-02 because the AHL logo on the back of the neck was not in uppercase until 02-03 from the gamers I have seen. The SP logo in the rear hem of that Kesler is from 02-03: http://sports.webshots.com/photo/2356616610100145113WdNvFR SP switched to a different logo in 03-04: http://sports.webshots.com/photo/2974810740100283076livxHP Now they might have recycled jerseys, so who knows.

Yes, you are correct. The "AHL" logo on SP jerseys from 00-02 were in lower case, then for the 02-03 season the went to capital letters.
